Our purpose
We want to create dignified jobs for women
We run our business to make a difference and raise the standard of living of women around the world
Our foundation
We work closely with partners around the world
At Manelleh, we believe we can make a difference for women through our way of doing business. That is the foundation of our business. The core of our business is that we work closely with all our partners around the world. That way we know how every single product is made, who it is made of, and what the women get paid. And thus we ensure that women have a responsible wage level and a proper working environment.
Our purpose is clear. We want to raise the standard of living and create proper, meaningful and dignified jobs for women all over the world. We want to give women the opportunity to be independent and live a life free from poverty. Give them the opportunity to earn their own money, send their children to school, live a life free from prostitution, discrimination, insecure and low-paid jobs, and free from physical or sexual violence.
When women thrive, so do their families
We do business to make a difference for women
Gender inequality is one of the oldest and most widespread forms of inequality in the world. For centuries, it has deprived women of their voice in the world, has devalued their work - and has, on the whole, made women's position unequal in relation to men in everything from the household and micro level to the national and global level. Empowering women makes an incomparable difference for themselves, their families and their communities. When women work, they invest 90 percent of their income back in their families, compared to 35 percent for men.
NON-NEGOTIABLES
We want to create a future with more responsible business
At Manelleh, we want to create change. We want to be the new generation of more responsible companies. We do this by committing to what many companies call their code of conduct. We call it ours non-negotiables, and these are the values and principles that we do not negotiate and never compromise on.
