Being a B Corp means adhering to the highest standards of social and environmental performance, transparency, and accountability. We take a rigorous approach to business decisions by focusing on people and planet, in addition to profit.

True to our B Corp commitment we donate 10% of all proceeds to local registered charity. We donate 10% - always, off the top, not after our bills are paid.

Meet Dan Vandermolen - Founder & Owner

I spent a number of years working in the film and TV industry in Toronto Canada, before changing careers and pivoting to a leadership position in a not-for-profit organization. I proudly worked with a small team that managed and led a highly successful thrift store in Waterloo region. This is where my passion for service and a vision for business for the benefit of others was ignited.

The fast pace of film life contrasted with the personal engagement and power of community I experienced in the not-for-profit world gave me the idea to create CHANGE Lifestyle & Apparel. I have come to realize that everyone can learn, and everyone can do a bit better. It is better to take one small step closer to a goal than no step at all.

I am along for the ride and loving it!"
