Sustainability
OUR MISSION
To build a network of conscious customers and promote the sustainable development of small italian artisans all around the world.
VALUES





Our sustainability plan is based on five pillars that reflect our commitment on the 2030 Agenda of Sustainable Development


PEOPLE INNOVATION


Our mission is to promote the authenticity of Italian craftsmanship all around the globe.
How? While developing business innovation and digitalization of the small artisans, providing them the right resources and tools and allowing them to enhance their business.
Sustainability requires disruptive innovation. And that’s the core of Baemi’s project.

Transparency and traceability



We want our business to be 100% transparent and our customers to make informed decisions when buying our products.
We want our customers to be fully aware of who produced their products, where does the leather come from and how they were crafted.
We are proud of our business model and our short value chain and we want our customers to trust and be proud of our products, just like we are.

RESPONSIBLE VALUE CHAIN




We are committed to develop impact measurements throughout our value chain and access every single step to make sure that we, our artisans and our artisans’ suppliers are aligned with our standards and values.
We have a holistic view and we care about the planet as much as we care about the people.
Our focus goes beyond the responsible sourcing of raw materials and animal welfare. We are very attentive to access the working practises and human rights of our artisans, making sure we can help to address some of the most pressing social global challenges: reducing inequalities and reaching gender equality, enabling a fairer and diverse community.
Our suppliers are small local businesses with good working practices, fair wages, health and safety measures, and being 50/50 women.

Circular economy


Circular economy and waste management starts with preventing waste.
That’s why Baemi focuses on developing a lean packaging, reduced as much as possible, while still ensuring the integrity of the product during shipment.
We also reduce waste while providing high quality and long-lasting products, in accordance with our slow-fashion approach.
We believe that ensuring the durability of the products delivered is an essential obligation at the base of every sustainable business model.
Another contribution to the circular economy is made by our choice of packaging where this is not avoidable.
Together with 100% FSC™ recycled cardboard boxes, we decided to choose Refibra ™ for our dust bags, a pioneering and revolutionary technology in the textile industry. Refibra ™ features the upcycling of pre-consumer cotton scraps from garment production and mixing with virgin wood pulp from sustainable forests.
Nothing is treated as waste.

Stakeholder education


Inclusive relationships with our artisans and customers are essentials for reaching our goals.
Our responsibility doesn’t stop with accessing our impact across the value chain, we want to drive the sustainable transition further, educating and engaging our stakeholders and being side by side with them.
We guide our artisans to continuously improve the sustainability of their business and we support them at every stage with a dedicated sustainability consultant.
We also educate our final customers with tips and suggestions to minimize the impact of the product usage and disposal.
