Changing our footprint on the environment
LOHAS companies practice "responsible capitalism" by providing goods and services using economic and environmentally sustainable business practices. LOHAS business owners and industry leaders from around the world meet each year at the LOHAS Conference to discuss industry trends, share ideas and learn how to run a successful LOHAS business.
LOHAS consumers, sometimes referred to as Lohasians, are interested in products covering a range of market sectors and sub-sectors, including: Green building supplies, socially responsible investing and "green stocks", alternative healthcare, organic clothing and food, personal development media, yoga and other fitness products, eco-tourism and more.

What people are saying about the LOHAS Forum
"From composting food scraps at the conference to asking some of the tougher questions like "is sustainability sustainable," the LOHAS conference distinguished itself from similar gatherings by successfully connecting on that deeper level."
Amy Stork, City of Portland Office of Sustainable Development
"We feel LOHAS provides a unique environment to connect and share ideas with senior level executives from many disciplines and learn about companies that are producing leading edge environmentally friendly and sustainable products for the mainstream consumer."
Jeff Slye, Director of Environmental Programs, Kimpton Hotels
