GIVING BACK

We donate 1% of O My Bag’s annual revenue to support projects which focus on women empowerment, education and environmental innovation.

FAIR WAGES

As a brand, we want to make sure that all people working on our bags are able to have a decent life, with stable financials and some room for savings.

We also invest in awareness and knowledge transfer on a range of topics, including women’s empowerment, financial literacy and independence, as well as other needs based life skills.

BRICKFIELD SCHOOLS

ENVIRONMENTAL

The Brickfield Schools are open-air schools, where the children receive basic education 3 hours per day. We offered support by donating school backpacks for all children, and for the school year 2020-2021, we financed the full operations of three schools, providing education for 175 children. One of the most effective things we can do is move away from shipping our bags from India to our warehouse in the Netherlands by air. Compared to shipping by air, the emissions per ton shipped are significantly lower by sea. Our target for 2023 is to have 50% of all our shipments by sea.
