What’s happening

Goal 1. No poverty
A large part of our employees lives and works in Vietnam. A country where poverty
and exploitation is unfortunately still the order of the day. We hope to make a difference with our Sedge Straws
to make. That’s why 10% of our profits go to charities. In addition, we treat
our team in an honest way. Our employees therefore receive above average
high wages. This is how we fight poverty together!

Goal 3. Good health and well-being
As a company, we guarantee the good health of our employees. We also find
It is very important to promote the well-being of our team. Well, then a monthly
BBQ for employees and family is a must. 😉 These team building moments
ensure a close-knit group, where they know that they can count on each other.

sustainable industrialization. Innovation? That is also high on our priority list! Our
We try to make the workplace climate neutral by, among other things, in solar panels
to invest. In addition, we separate our waste and try to be as environmentally friendly as

we continued to invest in a sustainable economy. In the future we will use our digital

full traceability and transparency to our customers.

Goal 12. Responsible consumption and production

period, 5 trillion plastic bags were thrown away every year and 1 . every minute

The emergency bell has been raised and there is now a ban on single-use plastic bags and products
use, such as plastic straws. That’s where we make the difference with our reed straws! We
fully support the cradle-to-cradle principle: we grow our reed completely organically,
harvest it by hand and process it into straw straws without using
chemicals or preservatives. And after that? Can our straws just use the

Goal 15. Life on land
More than a quarter of the species on the IUCN Red List (including the
Sarus crane in Vietnam) is in danger of extinction. Fortunately there is progress
in the field of sustainable forest management. Yet in two decades the world has 100
million hectares of forest lost. So protection is desperately needed! Unlike papers

of biodiversity in the Mekong Delta region. The reed beds ensure that the

we promote the sustainable use of our eco-system

Goal 17. Partnerships for Goals
Our last goal stands for mutual trust, openness and respect for culture and
nature. Through our partnership with local companies, various NGOs and the Vietnamese
government it is possible for us to build a bridge between East and West. On the one hand
we supply sustainable products to the West, on the other hand we bring financial stability
to the east. A win win. We jointly strive for sustainable development and our
sedge straws are the perfect solution for this!
