In both our lives we have always believed in supporting others, whether that's our children and families, friends, neighbours or the global community, lifting others up and taking action that enriches and protects our planet, and everything on it, is the only way to get the world we all say we want to see. As we continue to build the RichLuigi™ business this philosophy is at the heart of everything we do. For the sake of our children and grandchildren we will do what we can and live as lightly and lovingly (we're back to the "doing word") on the earth as possible. Join us in supporting the great work needed to make that happen.
SUPPORTING PRODUCERS
Our producers are everything to us. The people and businesses who grow, process and ultimately create RichLuigi™ products are critical to everything we do and stand for. Passionate businesses, employers crucial to their local economies and all small fish in the big global pond of products. These are our friends, selected for the quality of their produce as well as the integrity of their practices, some coming from Luigi's home town, for all these reasons we support them and the projects they support. 2.5% of our profits are allocated to supporting our fabulous local producers. Meet them here.
GIVING BACK
RichLuigi™ support Save the Children and have made them our primary charity to deliver on our mission to support young carers in both Italy and the UK. Their mission statement focuses on inspiring change in the treatment of children and creating lasting change in their lives. We couldn't agree more and are committed to giving 5% of all our profits to this important cause.
BCORP
The B Corp Community is a global movement of businesses that provide leadership by demonstrating their commitment to people and the planet. Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, are companies verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability. As a small business still in our first twelve months of trading RichLuigi™ are not yet able to become fully certified as a BCorp business however we will submit our application on our first year anniversary and are already fully compliant with the BCorp standard. Being a conscious and responsible business is central to our vision as is making the world a better place than we found it. On that basis 2.5% of all our profits go to managing and maintaining our BCorp compliance and to charities focused on environmental projects like Save the Olives, a cause close to our hearts!
