Ethics Manifesto

The team and I have been brainstorming about what we care the most about, and how to share it with the OHMME community. One thing I am really intent on expressing is that many companies promise the world, and consistently underdeliver and are unrealistic about what they can provide. 

Here is a small manifesto of what makes us tick at OHMME.

Sustainability:

• Be as transparent as possible with what we do and why we do it.
• Aim to be as sustainable as possible by creating products that have minimal impact on our environment.
• Leverage new technology to create great products from recycled materials. 
• Be open to change  - this is a learning experience for us - if we need to change something to be more economical or sustainable, let us know
• Work with factories who keep the health and livelihood of workers in mind.
• Harm no animals in the process of making our products. 

Customer Service:

• Listen to customers to stay on top of what our community is interested in and why.
• Provide next-level, friendly service to both existing and potential customers. 
• Provide a fun and stimulating work environment for all OHMME employees. 
• Constantly engage with customers for feedback on products & service

Community:

• Provide a platform (Blog) for others to share personal stories, insights and experiences with others around the world. 
• Be involved in the local communities (eventually worldwide) by hosting + sponsoring events to spread our message
• Give back to the community that provides us with the experience to do what we do (charities, giveaways, contests, etc.)
• Build a team of ambassadors + influencers who embody our core values and share them with their followings. 
• Be non-coercive with the people we work with. 

Education:

• Build a community interest in physical, emotional and psychological well-being
• Raise awareness for men’s mental/emotional health issues
• Use our marketing tools to not only sell our products, but to inform and educate customers 
• Educate our customers on fabrics, methods of sustainability, health and well-being.

Business:

• Smile in the face of adversity. Starting a business is hard. There are some tough moments, but we won't get beaten down.  
• Be proud of what we do and pay fair wages.
• Make profits so we can prove that new businesses can succeed with ethical and environmental foc
