Cleancult Named to Inc.'s 2023 Best in Business List in Sustainability Category

4th annual list recognizes 215 private companies putting purpose ahead of profit.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cleancult has been named to the Inc. 2023 Best in Business list in the Sustainability category. Inc.'s Best in Business Awards honor companies that have made an extraordinary impact in their fields and on society.                                                 

The list, which can be found in the Winter issue of Inc. magazine (on newsstands December 12), recognizes the most dynamic companies of all sizes and industries that have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.

"This highly-esteemed recognition in Inc.'s Sustainability list means so much to us as we stride towards eradicating single-use culture and growing the wave of no-plastic fanatics," said Ryan Lupberger, Co-Founder and CEO of Cleancult. "We believe in a future where clean doesn't come at the cost of our planet. This year, our entire product portfolio became Plastic Neutral Certified, and we unveiled our game-changing aluminum bottles that are filled with our powerful formulas and pair with our recyclable paper-based carton refills—a huge leap towards a cleaner, more sustainable world. Thanks to our incredible team and supporters who realize Cleancult's purpose."

Rather than relying on quantitative criteria tied to sales or funding, Inc.'s editors reviewed the companies' achievements over the past year and noted how they made a positive difference in the world. They then selected honorees in 70 different categories – from advertising to sustainability to retail, and more – and in age-based, revenue-based, size-based, and impact-based categories. The applicant pool was extremely competitive – a huge success for the 215 honored in the list's fourth year. Honorees for general excellence across various industries and categories are featured online at inc.com/best-in-business.

Eric Hagerman, Special Projects Editor at Inc., says, "Being named to the Best in Business list is a rare and special honor. These honorees demonstrate the foresight, caring, and dedication to prioritize positive impact—impact on their community, on their industry and the environment, and even on society as a whole."
