Now, how are some ways CAMPO exemplify these three?
As a company, we employ artisans and artisan cooperatives in Peru. We pay our workers fair prices and give them the opportunity to work from their homes on their own schedule, all while helping grow their communities.
We donate a portion of all proceeds to Chaska Collective, a NPO that works to educate young girls in Cusco, Peru and give them a greater chance at life.
We make our artisans known through sharing their photos and stories. You'll even see the alpacas, whom of which are cared for as family.
Finally, alpacas themselves are very environmentally friendly and products made from their fiber are designed to last.
We are proud to be a company that stands for social good, one stich at a time. Fair trade, ethical, and sustainable practices are what make the world go round and we thank you for being a part of our journey.
