Social impact
We want to help build a society that’s fairer and more equal. To do this we will put people first and grow our business in an inclusive way. We will respect and encourage diversity and equality, and promote decent and meaningful work, enabling people to provide a good life for themselves and their families.
Make LGBT+ people feel at home
Everybody should have somewhere they’re welcome and accepted. But only half of LGBT+ people feel they can be open about who they are, even with their family. Together, let’s make the LGBT+ community feel at home.
Working with social entrepreneurs for a better future
One way we’re creating a better everyday life for the many people is by promoting social entrepreneurs to create long-lasting, positive change for those who need it most.
Suppliers – our partners in responsible business
Our suppliers are our partners in affecting positive change. Together we work to run our businesses in a socially and environmentally responsible way, creating a better everyday life for people around the world.
A little place mat that makes a big difference

Promoting ethical hand-weaving
Together with our suppliers, we’re working to improve the way hand-made rugs are produced in India and Bangladesh, ensuring more care for the environment, good working conditions and better gender equality.
