Inkkas actively works to help protect the environment by way of its partnership with Amazon Watch. As per number 1 of Inkkas’ 3 core principles, Inkkas pledges to donate a portion of all of its proceeds to help protect the Amazon rainforest and its inhabitants.

The movement also advocates paying a higher price to exporters as well as higher social and environmental standards.

 

These proceeds are donated to Amazon Watch(.org), a non-profit NGO that works with South American governments and local indigenous tribes to prevent the exploitation and deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.

Inkkas is committed to ensuring the health, happiness and well-being of its workers. Inkkas does not discriminate based on race, gender or religion. All of our workers are well-compensated, highly-trained, professional and work in a safe, hazard-free work environment.

 Inkkas neither employs children nor works with organizations that do. They value and greatly appreciate the work of our local Peruvian artisans and workers and they continue to strive to improve their lives by offering our artisans well above average salary and exceptional working conditions.

Inkkas strives to support local communities in South America with charitable donations and goes to great lengths to source all of their textiles directly from the artisans that have been producing such beautiful fabrics for generations. All of their shoes are made with authentic textiles sourced directly from artisans across South America.

  • Creating Opportunities for Economically Disadvantage Producers
