What is your organizations mission/goals? What small steps are taken to achieve these goals?
Voes & Co is a premium vegan lifestyle company that exists to promote mindful, compassionate living, through ethically sourced, sustainable, designer vegan footwear. We're 100% committed to not using leather, suede or any other animal-based material in our designs. We're on a mission to pioneer the use of next-generation materials to reduce the use of plastic in the vegan fashion industry.
Our Goals:
- To provide high-quality, ethically made vegan footwear: We want our customers to feel good about what they're wearing, knowing that their shoes are made with respect for animals and the environment.
- To minimize our environmental footprint: We're constantly exploring new ways to reduce our impact on the planet, from using sustainable materials to implementing eco-friendly practices throughout our supply chain.
- To promote conscious consumerism: We believe that fashion should be about more than just trends. We want to encourage our customers to think about the impact of their choices and to choose products that align with their values.
To inspire a compassionate lifestyle: We believe that fashion can be a powerful tool for change. We want to use our platform to inspire people to live more consciously and to make choices that benefit the planet and all its inhabitants.

Small Steps We Take to Achieve These Goals:
Using plant leather: We utilize plant leathers as a sustainable alternative to traditional animal leather. We work with durable, eco-friendly materials such as cactus leather and corn leather that require less water and land to produce.
Partnering with ethical factories: We work with factories that are committed to fair labour practices and safe working conditions.
Minimizing waste: We strive to reduce waste throughout our production process by using recycled packaging and minimizing excess materials.
Giving back to the community: We support organizations that are working to protect the environment and promote animal welfare.
Educating our customers: We provide information about our sustainability initiatives and encourage our customers to make conscious choices.
We believe that every small step counts, and we're committed to making a positive impact, one shoe at a time.
