I
think that it should be a requirement for all companies to do something
charitable that can help impact bigger problems in the world. It is something
we have been achieved by companies such as Toms and Newman's Own, who are
constantly giving back to people around the world in need. If every company did
the same, I think the world would be a better place. Hand in Hand Sustainable
Suds is a company that has taken the one for one motto, and is making the world
better each day. The business is simply explained from their website.
"Hand in Hand Soap was conceived in 2011
by two social entrepreneurs who believe that business can do so much more than
just make money. Understanding the difficulty that most non-profits face trying
to obtain funding, married couple Courtney and Bill set out to start a business
based on sustainable giving. By directly tying charitable donations to
the sale of an everyday product, Hand in Hand is able to give soap and clean
water to those in need and save lives without depending on a single donation.
For every product purchased, Hand in Hand donates a bar of soap
and provides a month of clean water to children in need." Companies such
as Hand in Hand are not just helping other people, they are helping the
environment as well. The owner said, "The goal was to come up with a
household product people use every day, that had the power to save lives.
After 3 years of brainstorming, we came across an article reporting that each
year over 5 million people die of diseases caused by poor water quality and
lack of proper hygiene. After further research, we discovered that those
deaths could be prevented by handwashing and clean water. It was at that
moment that Hand in Hand was conceived"(Hand in Hand). Companies like
this are out there, they just need more publicity. Cost of products too is a
problem, when so many people suffer from financial problems. If every company
was required to do something similar, then greed would go down, and the world
would become better.
