Company: VAHDAM Teas

Founder: Bala Sarda

Why the company was started: The Indian Tea industry is responsible for 25%-30% of the world's tea production and is the second largest employer of organized labor in India. But sadly, the industry is forced to be reliant on bulk tea exports to foreign brands who add no real value to the home industry. This also impacts the millions of farmers who continue to struggle with poor wages and an uncertain future. Most of this tea shuffles for months at end between unnecessary middlemen and sits in unregulated warehouses, before reaching the consumer. By this time, most of the tea's flavor and character is lost. Evidently, this obsolete supply chain, followed by conventional tea brands doesn't benefit the consumer, neither the farmers, nor the industry. As a solution to the above problem, Bala launched Vahdam Teas. A home-grown industry that sources premium tea from reputed plantations within hours of harvest, without the involvement of any middlemen. The sourced tea is brought to the company's state-of-the-art tea facility in Delhi, India, where further value is added to the product. The final produce is packed into vacuum-sealed retail boxes and shipped to our global distribution facilities, from where it reaches the consumer in the shortest time possible. Owing to this revolutionary supply chain, most of the earnings are retained in the source regions where it brings the farmers a better price for their efforts and also helps in strengthening the enfeebling industry.

How does the company give back: The brand's motto of 'Do Good by Doing Good' reflects first in its revolutionary supply chain. Our supply chain is devoid of any middlemen like auctioneers, distributors, retailers etc. These middlemen in the traditional sourcing method skim most of the profits before it reaches the farmer. But through our supply chain, premium teas from reputed gardens reach the consumers directly. This helps in retaining most of the earnings in the region itself, where it helps the farmers fetch a better price for their efforts, empowering them in the long run. Additionally, the brand launched its first social initiative - 'TEAch Me' in 2018. Under this initiative, 1% of the company's revenue goes towards the education of our tea farmers' children. The program has already inducted the wards of all the farmers at two of our partnering tea estates in India. Like any other parent, every farmer wishes for their progeny to have a better life than they had. We, as a humble brand, simply wish to honor this aspiration.

Company: Daily Concepts

CEO: Emilio Smeke

Why the company was started: Here at Daily Concepts we believe that things should be changed and evolved and that there is always a better way to innovate everyday items. So it was in the spirit of this that we began to reimagine a world where bath products could be items of luxury with tasteful and innovative design and technology that would also allow the consumer to track the lifespan of their bath and beauty tools hence cleaning up the bathing game.

How does the company give back: We partnered with LAVA MAE who's mission is to deliver dignity to the homeless one shower at a time. "Why we decided to partner up with LAVA MAE? The reason is simple, we believe in the power of water and the power of being clean, however becoming a volunteer in L.A. We experienced how wonderful the guests are (like you or me) and I learned how one scrubber from Daily Concepts can scrub away their grief and dirt as if one layer of skin could be removed and with that a new world of possibilities and opportunities emerges. WE WELCOME YOU TO TRY THE POWER OF SCRUBBING and as regular human beings you will understand why exfoliation goes beyond ordinary and that: Clean is a state of Mind.

Company: Ayr Skin Care

Founder: Kirsten Thomas

Why the company was started: My mother taught me unconditional love, and introduced me to healthy living. She emigrated to the USA when she was 25 years old and immediately fell in love with the energy and positivity of Southern California. The name "Ayr Skin Care" is in honor of her youthful and adventurous spirit. Ayr, is a beautiful seaside town on the southwest coast of Scotland, her birthplace, and a town that is always close to my heart.

How does the company give back: Many of our ingredients are only found in some of the world’s poorest nations - including shea butter, cocoa butter, and marula oil. We directly source these ingredients from local co-ops, to help provide fair wages and valuable income to support women, families, and entire communities. These economic and fair trade initiatives, some led by the United Nations, support entrepreneurial farmers and protect women and children from economic hardships.
