TORAJAMELO | Council for Inclusive Capitalism

WHAT WE DO AND HOW WE DO IT? Via OUR 3 PILLARS, we are working towards creating a sustainable ecosystem around rural economies. COMMERCE: TORAJAMELO is an ethical fashion lifestyle brand that produces and showcases artisanal products to the world. We cater to both B2B and B2C customers. COMMUNITY COLLABORATION: Our core pillar is the design and development of sustainable weaving practices that preserve the authenticity of the craft while staying relevant to the evolving market. We also explore additional sources of income for our partner communities through “Community-Based Ecotourism” and regenerative economy projects. CONSULTANCY: Our consultancy pillar provides advisory services to corporations on ESG and UN SDG and how they can integrate these principles into their businesses. We also offer mentoring and coaching support to impact businesses on how to thrive in the current times while staying true to their core purpose.

We believe it is vital to state clearly to the world the set of our beliefs about Inclusive Capitalism. As such, we start with our Statement of Guiding Principles for Inclusive Capitalism. Knowing that words alone are not enough, each of us is making a series of commitments about how we will operate our institutions so that they help achieve Inclusive Capitalism. These commitments are forward-looking statements based on current goals, expectations and assumptions, which are not guarantees of future performance.

Summary

TORAJAMELO and its related business units, commit that by 2025, at least 70% of our supply chain partners will be comprised of indigenous communities, cooperatives, and Small, Medium businesses that operate in urban, rural, and indigenous areas.

Activities & Initiatives

Under the aegis of our AHANA mission, we will establish an ecosystem of partners across the entire value chain of our products and services such that they not only work with us, but also with each other in order to create a collaborative of partners that are working with each other to achieve business and impact goals while improving their business processes. Our goal is to minimise the silo mindset. Additionally we will:

1) Adhere 100% to WEPS, WeConnect, BCorp principles that we have signed up for, while we continue to scout, review, and partner with relevant MSME supply chain partners. We will review this on a monthly basis.

2) Expand our training and development portfolio to include our MSME supply chain partners who can then upgrade themselves while being true to their values and original principles without facing the pressure to scale unhealthily by 2025.

Measures & Targets

By 2025, at least 70% of our supply chain and value chain partners will be from Indigenous communities and/or SMEs.
