Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiatives:

We recognize the significance of promoting local artistry and sustainable trade. At IP conferences, we typically present handcrafted gifts sourced from Mozambique. These environmentally-friendly gifts not only underscore our commitment to sustainability but also uplift local artisans who rely on their craft for their livelihood. The handcrafted products we showcase are purchased from local fairs, organized and supervised by the government to ensure authenticity and sustainable practices.

Our commitment to sustainability was recognized at the INTA Annual Meeting 2023 in Singapore, where we clinched the 1st place in the Green Swag Awards. This accolade followed our 3rd place achievement in 2022 with a handcrafted elephant wood keychain, also sourced from Mozambique.
