ABOUT US

SOCO has a different approach to doing business that stems fully from the belief that folks should be able to expect more out of the companies they choose to do business with.

 

HOW WE GIVE BACK

Each quarter SOCO gives back 10% of our net profit to help alleviate poverty through our non-profit partners such as Makarios who loves, educates, and empowers people living in poverty. We choose different charities to assist when we have profitable quarters. 

 

 

 

SOCO puts people first. Aiding in the fight against poverty, as well as giving our customers peace about their purchase.

 

FAIR-TRADE PRINCIPLE MANUFACTURING

As a mission minded company we value people above all else. We believe in fair wages and work practices which is why we want our customers to know the actual people behind their purchase. In contrast to many other companies, SOCO Hammocks fully discloses the manufacturing information so that our customers know what they are paying for.

[Dimy and his team of artisans]

A small group of artisans in Indonesia, led by Dimy, once hand-make every SOCO Hammock with precision and care. Dimyati Syam is the caring leader behind the original manufacturing of SOCO hammocks. For his small group of only 8 employees, Dimy provides education, housing, meals, and gives them a percentage of income earned from his slowly increasing customer base. The salaries paid to his factory workers are based on quantity produced, a much better basis of payment as compared to the often low standard of salaries paid to workers in Indonesia. Health and social benefits are also provided to his staff as well. Our latest production order was via an excellent company in China with similar values.

You can hang in your SOCO Hammock with a peace of mind, knowing that your purchase has provided a much needed income to a small group of artisans, and that it has empowered the impoverished around the world.
