This is a response to this blog and an objection to this blog.
When I was reading the first blog, I found it interesting, that companies, like Toms, inherently are not bringing any good values. However, they are trying to bind some values to their design. Then, I was reading the second blog which is about Nisolo company. I noticed that some moral values are implemented within the design of the company. However, there are still some objections that we can arise.
I think the way that Nisolo is designed is benefiting the places that need jobs. It does not seem to solve the problem with a temporary solution. By focusing on high-quality, handcrafted products produced in developing countries, Nisolo has created job opportunities and brought wealth to the local communities. This approach contributes to the economic development of impoverished communities, helping to break the cycle of poverty. Additionally, Nisolo's to paying fair wages to their workers aligns with principles of social responsibility, ensuring that the people behind their products benefit from their work.
However, it's essential to recognize that Nisolo's luxury branding and premium pricing may limit the reach of their ethical products. This exclusivity raises questions about whether their values align with broader societal impact or whether they are primarily targeting a select, more affluent demographic. The emphasis on quality, while beneficial for workers, might not fully address the immediate and pressing needs of individuals in developing countries who may require more affordable options. It's important to consider whether a more comprehensive approach, including addressing other facets of community development beyond job creation, is necessary to make a more significant and lasting difference in the regions where they operate.
