World Centric
In 2004, World Centric Founder Aseem Das knew he wanted to shed light on the environmental and social problems facing the planet. Knowing that billions of people live without basic necessities or adequate resources, he set off to share knowledge via hosting documentaries, speakers, courses, and learning guides based on human rights and sustainability topics. As their reach grew, Das looked for ways to continue to support the company's goals without relying on donations and grants‚ and that's where the products came in.
World Centric began selling Fair Trade and compostable products in 2005, and the product portion of their business took off. Within a few years, World Centric had registered as a for-profit social enterprise, enabling them to continue to support communities across the globe through their education and resources, while providing compostable products to customers worldwide. Although they are now a for profit company, World Centric stays true to their original mission‚ and has donated 25% of profits to grassroots organizations since 2009.
Throughout their different phases of growth, one thing has stayed constant‚ World Centric is on a mission to change the world for people and planet alike.
