Why Did We Choose Feelgoodz Natural Rubber Flip Flops?
Feelgoodz are one of the most eco-ethical, socially conscious, U.S. companies around today. The company has built a “Giving Model” that enables them to contribute portions of their revenues to causes they truly care about. As they grow, their contributions grow. So the more you support them, the more they can support their causes!
Here’s What Feelgoodz Does:
Feelgoodz is committed to creating a sustainable business, and they believe in steppin’ easy as we walk the earth. They use natural rubber. They use hemp. They use bamboo. They use recycled paper and recycled flop hangers. They’re not environmentalists, but they doing their part. And their contribution of 1% for the Planet enables them to support environmental organizations worldwide.
One of the main reasons Feelgoodz started their business was to give back to the people of Thailand that gave so much to them. They feel it is imperative to ensure that every Thai employee that they work with is treated fairly. They don’t condone child labor. They demand fair wages and expect proper working conditions. Currently, there are no natural rubber fair trade programs set in place, and therein lies part of their part of the cause. It’ll take the company a while, but they aim to create the necessary systems and processes to implement a Fair Trade Natural Rubber Program in Thailand.
Another part of Feelgoodz mission is to strengthen the communities in Thailand, especially in Phitsanulok. The company founders plan to develop an infrastructure that focuses on creating and sustaining healthy economies for the people in Southeast Asia.
Kiva.org is a 501(c)3 non-profit micro-financing organization that lets you lend to a specific entrepreneur in the developing world – empowering them to lift themselves out of poverty. Feelgoodz donates 1% of their revenues to Kiva’s general operating expenses, in hopes that the company will use those funds to create micro-financing operations in Thailand.
