As we head into our mid-term goals, we are committed to maintaining and building on our progress as a company that was built on a commitment to doing better. A few initiatives to come:
Roll out our Environmental Policy to the majority of our brand partners, encouraging them to align their efforts with ours.
A commitment to achieving all our short-term community goals in the mid-term, specifically meeting our targets set for BIPOC-owned businesses and Women or Non-Binary owned.
Ensuring local communities of our artisan brands recognize that Goodee is committed to their long-term development through more in-depth and sustained local partnerships.
Creating our annual impact report has become a meaningful tradition at GOODEE. It provides us with an opportunity to reflect on our efforts and reaffirm our values and the impact we wish to have on the world. This year’s edition holds particular significance, as it marks the completion of the short-term goals (2021-2023) set in our impact framework, laying the groundwork for our mid-term goals to be completed by 2027. Thank you for being on this journey with us.
