Essential Depot's Greener Life Certified brand is dedicated to promoting sustainable and profitable business practices while prioritizing environmental and human concerns. The brand was founded by Derek Hodges, who sought to merge sustainability and profitability in business to create a better world. Through the Greener Life Diamond (GLD), which codifies values such as Carbon Footprint, Animal and Bio Friendly, and Fair Trade, the brand aims to promote transparency and demonstrate these values to the world.

Greener Life Club members create and sell handcrafted products, differentiating them with the Greener Life Diamond, turning individual buying decisions into a force for positive change. The Greener Life Certification program, introduced at the Greener Life Member Conference, offers members access to initiatives that amplify sales and promote their certified products in various marketplaces. Essential Depot's commitment to balancing profitability and sustainability is evident in every aspect of the brand, as outlined in The Greener Life Manifesto
