Week 3 EOC: Making Money for Good


Hand in Hand soap is a website that follows the same business model as Tom's shoes do. For every bar of soap they sell they give a bar of soap away. When ask what was the thought behind selling a bar of soap they 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 half of those deaths could be prevented with just a single bar of soap.  It was at that moment that Hand in Hand was conceived."  There company not only helps people in need they do it in way that is environment friendly way. "Understanding our environmental impact, we set out from day one to create a soap that was as eco-friendly as possible.  We wanted to be proud of our soap and develop a product that was made with sustainable resources, and harvested ethically.” They also wanted to make use there use of packaging was sustainable as well. “All Hand in Hand soap is shipped using eco-friendly packaging, comes with a free carbon offset, and a portion of all proceeds is used to save 50 square feet of rainforest for every bar sold.” This is truly a remarkable company.
