OUR PEOPLE STRATEGY CENTERS AROUND GENERATING FAIR AND CONSISTENT JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVERYONE IN OUR VALUE CHAIN. WE DEVELOP AND SHARE BEST PRACTICES AMONG THE ARTISANAL AND MANUFACTURING SECTORS WHILE CONNECTING THEM WITH THE REST OF THE PLANET IN A RESPONSIBLE WAY.

    A big part of this strategy is bettering the lives of the artisans we work with and their communities. In this sense, we seek to collaborate with the most vulnerable links in the chain, like women, who represent 98% of our partners. This has a profound impact on the entire community because, through this kind of employment, they can continue to pursue a philosophy vision we share, the «Buen Vivir» or «good living» culture, which implies coexisting in harmony with the community, family, nature, and, ultimately, the universe. It is a way of living that honors the social and environmental balance we strive for in all our processes.

    By having this approach, we can enhance our partners’ revenue while ensuring everybody gets fair pay without compromising their way of life and allowing them to grow and reach their personal and community goals. Moreover, by applying this strategy to women artisans, we contribute to empowering them by recognizing their value as productive and independent individuals, which leads to enriching their families and allowing them to be a pillar not only at home but within the community itself while being present for their children, and thus, achieving the work-life balance we envision.

    To ensure this happens every time, we apply the industry’s best practices and hold different certifications approved by expert organizations like B Corp, Climate Neutral, and EcoVadis.

    B LAB IS A NONPROFIT NETWORK THAT SEEKS TO TRANSFORM THE GLOBAL ECONOMY TO BENEFIT ALL PEOPLE, COMMUNITIES, AND THE PLANET.

    At Someone Somewhere, we believe all corporations and businesses should aim towards these values to provide concrete solutions to social and environmental problems. As such, for the 5th consecutive year, we join the B Corp community seeking to meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose in the hopes of reducing inequality, lowering the levels of poverty, creating a healthier environment, stronger communities, and more high-quality jobs with dignity and purpose.

    TOGETHER, OUR IMPACT POTENTIAL IS INFINITE

    A fundamental part of who we are is who we work with. We are fortunate to say we work with one of the most talented, creative, and humble people: Artisans.

    Through our collaborations, we have learned much from different rural communities that have mastered their crafts through centuries and continue evolving creatively and harmoniously as a collective. This has allowed us not only to meet great individuals but also to understand the difficulties they face and be able to contribute to achieving a better world together.

    As part of these efforts, we have opened the door for artisans to more constant and secure income, increasing residence levels, self-esteem, empowerment, and reducing deprivation and stress. As a result, these actions have led to increased human and social capital and levels of social commitment of critical community actors through capacity building and positive incentives.

    Thanks to our alliances, we have improved entire families’ conditions by generating employment for vulnerable actors and sharing a common dream: having an endless positive impact on our planet and its people.
