We have travelled around the world all our lives. Often we have met people struggling for their survival in different ways, and when we started the limited company in 2006, we decided to use our business to help others and do what we can to drive positive change in the world.

We want to be clear that Terrible Twins is not a charity, not at all. It is a for-profit business that we make our living from. We also have employees who make a living working for us, suppliers who make a living selling to us and customers who make a living selling our products. We will not settle for anything less than a livelihood for everyone in the value chain, but not at the expense of the planet or other people.

The principle that our business should not be at the expense of the planet or other people sometimes means we need to make financially uncomfortable decisions, but we firmly believe that taking responsibility throughout the chain makes the company stronger and more resilient. The global textile industry requires huge amounts of resources and is responsible for both the exploitation of people and major pollution of our natural environment. Sometimes we ask ourselves how we can even talk about sustainability while operating in such a dirty industry, but if we can drive consumption to only buy what you really need and make sure those products last a long time and are responsibly produced at every step, we believe the Terrible Twins can be a positive force.

For this reason, we became a certified B Corp already in 2021. Together with other B Corps, we try to show that it is possible to drive positive change through entrepreneurship.
