Our take
The eyewear industry is worth over £100bn yet few companies do much to gear their products around sustainable practices. SunGod is an eyewear brand that aims to disrupt this market with high-quality products that avoid damaging the planet.
As a company, SunGod differentiates itself as its packaging is 100% recyclable and all its products are covered by a lifetime guarantee. As well as this, SunGod sets its product apart through its high-quality glasses which are proven to resist extreme weather, such as the climate of Mount Everest.
The company collaborates with a number of big sports names, including the McLaren F1 team and England Rugby, which helps boost exposure. Further, as more and more consumers look to sustainable alternatives to existing products, SunGod is poised for growth both within the UK and internationally.
