THE GOOD MISSION OF THE ORTA BLU LIFE-LOOP

Social Missions are a new form of charity in which the donor's product becomes the catalyst of the operation. Denim is what we know how to do well. Using denim we have launched a series of initiatives that are helping local NGOs in 3 different continents to sustain their programs. We travel to the field, roll our sleeves, and approach the problems with the determination to make a difference and the know-how of an international business. We train the local people , we spend time with them. We share their everyday lives to better understand how we can help. As we try to solve a problem, many others come up. We go back and look for partners whose business could help solve the new problems. We call it the life loop. We don't recycle just denim. We try to recycle life too and help people get a fresh start.

The Orta Blu Gene Project

We call them Genes instead of Jeans as a metaphor for the DNA of our Denim. We partner with fashion designers, we supply the denim and manufacture the jeans. Then we exchange them for the old jeans of people in need. We listen to their stories, and help them further.

Children ECO Programs: Mr. Blu

That the planet is in dire need for help is old news. But it's very difficult to break old habits with adults. So, while we wait for governments to put politics aside and make the big changes we need to solve this problem, we teach children around the world how many small changes in their lifestyle can make a big difference.
