Our
Impact
OUR VISION
In a world of mass consumption, production, and waste generation, we need to leave the linear economy behind us and rethink how we produce and consume. We aim to harness sustainable craftsmanship to contribute to this essential transition.
OUR MISSION
We are dedicated to promoting sustainable craftsmanship by embracing a holistic approach that integrates the three dimensions of sustainable development: environmental, economic, and social & cultural.
OUR IMPACT
Environmental Impact
We harness the untapped potential of sustainable craftsmanship to promote sustainable production and consumption, striving to reduce our footprint and advance the circular economy. We upcycle yearly up to:
- 6,000 tons of banana trees
- 60,000 dialysis bags
- 250-300 firehoses
Economic Impact
We support our crafters’ livelihoods, ensuring fair wages, decent work conditions, and opportunities for craft skill-building. We work with and directly support the livelihood of over 50 families in Thailand.
Social & Cultural Impact
We collaborate with crafters who creatively reinvent their cultural heritage and innovate within their traditions. Together, we redefine the meaning of contemporary craftsmanship. We share our crafters’ inspiring stories and raise awareness of local craft cultures and their contribution to sustainable development among thousands of people across Asia and Europe.
UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
We actively contribute to the following UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
- SDG 8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth
- SDG 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production
