Our mission as a social business is to promote financial independence and economic sovereignty as catalysts for sustainable change. We firmly believe that sustainable development is achieved not only through environmentally conscious decisions but also through social justice and fair economic structures.

At the heart of our approach is our close and personal collaboration with our own employees. We prioritize fair wages, support them with social benefits, and ensure that working conditions are safe and healthy. Our employees are the backbone of our company, and we continuously invest in their training to enhance their skills and knowledge.

From this solid foundation, our partnership with our suppliers flows naturally. We cultivate close, collaborative relationships based on mutual learning and shared growth. Through targeted investments in expanding production facilities and providing machines, tools, and materials, we help our partners increase their production capacity and continuously improve their production standards. This enables them to create high-quality products for the global market—not just for SOLOKO, but for all their customers.

We purchase our partners’ products at fair and equitable prices, ensuring they do not face financial pressure. To help pre-finance production or material costs, we pay a portion of the manufacturing costs upfront when placing an order. This supports our partners' economic
independence and helps them build their businesses in the long term.

Another central goal is to continuously increase the share of value creation in Ghana. Our roducts are entirely made in Ghana, contributing to job creation and boosting the local economy. Whenever possible, we use local materials and raw materials to strengthen the domestic economy further. While we still rely on some imported components, we are constantly working to overcome this challenge and increase local value creation.

For us, sustainability means not only ecological responsibility but also social commitment. We strive for transparency and regularly communicate our progress. On all levels - from material selection and design processes to production methods and logistics - we aim for continuous improvement.

The durability and longevity of our designs are particularly important to us. We want to ensure that our products are both functional and aesthetically pleasing and that they retain their value over time.

Another key aspect of our responsibility is the preservation of cultural heritage, especially in relation to Kente weaving and the values associated with it. This cultural heritage is a vital part of our philosophy and helps promote craftsmanship and tradition.

Although we do not yet have certifications, we are working towards them and adhere to the 10 principles of Fair Trade. This ensures that our actions always meet the highest ethical and sustainable standards.

We are committed to continuously improving our work and creating a positive impact - for our employees, our partners, and the environment.
