Our Mission & Values

We're driven by a commitment to sustainability, artisan empowerment, and creating products that celebrate both tradition and innovation.

Sustainability Commitment

We believe in creating products that don't compromise our planet's future. Every Ecofy item is made from biodegradable jute fiber, processed using eco-friendly methods that minimize water usage and eliminate harmful chemicals. Our carbon-negative approach means we offset more carbon than we produce, through tree planting initiatives and renewable energy investments in our production facilities.

Our Artisan Partnerships

The skilled hands behind every Ecofy product and how our collaborations are creating positive change in rural Bangladesh.

Artisan Workshop

Community-Centered Approach

We work directly with 8 artisan communities across rural Bangladesh, partnering with over 120 skilled craftspeople who specialize in traditional jute techniques.

Our partnerships are built on principles of fair trade, ensuring artisans receive fair compensation, safe working conditions, and opportunities for growth. We pay 35% above market rates and provide healthcare benefits to all artisans and their families.

Over 80% of our artisans are women, many of whom are now the primary income earners for their families, transforming traditional gender roles in their communities.
