ARTISAN SUSTAINABILITY
We understand that in a globalized market, innovation and re invention are required to maintain production sustainability. Therefore, we consider that the most effective way to maintain handmade traditions is to provide the artisan with an aggregated value to their products, by achieving high quality designed, unique, and commercially viable products that will fairly compensate the artisans for their production and become a financial incentive to maintain the elaboration of handmade products and the continuation of tradition.We believe that in order to create this, we need to integrate a holistic approach of transference of know in terms of product development, corporate image consultancy, market strategy, and business skills training.
We establish ourselves as a bridge for innovation and commercialization, working together with partners with both developed and developing countries, leaving behind the artisan with the knowledge and infrastructure to sustain themselves after our mentoring is done. By fostering serif-reliance, ensuring fair wages, and building support networks, the organization offers far more than Fair Trade, Workartte promotes human dignity by empowering individuals to overcome social and economic inequality.
Our core values are based in what we call our three concepts : Design, Sustainability, Environmental and social responsibility.
