We support local economy
We fund small local businesses that align with our values, creating sustainable products and local jobs.
We source our food locally, unless it cannot be grown or produced on the island. This benefits farmers such as Mr and Mrs Mayaven, who have a team of 20 people growing our salad and vegetables. You can also get a taste of Mauritian home cooking by ordering a tasty dholl puri from one of our street food vans, traditionally prepared by Mr and Mrs Chetty.
Employing local people and suppliers is key to our movement. We make a concerted effort to buy from local craftspeople, such as having most of our furniture made in Mauritius, rather than choosing cheaper imports.
Our next goal is for 50% of all our group’s purchases to be from suppliers with the ‘Made in Moris’ certification by 30 June 2021.
