Inspiration for a sustainable future

The 10 Joynn values

1. Independency

Joynn is an independent, transparent, and democratic organization that collaborates with manufacturers to tackle challenges in sustainability, circular products, and social impact through a unique Corporate Social Responsibility policy. The organization’s goal is to enhance the circular economy by utilizing a Joynn Index and maintaining transparency with a product label.

2. Responsibility

In the current supply chain, products are moved without anyone taking responsibility for them, especially at the end of their life cycle. Consequently, the costs of waste and environmental impact are shouldered by society, hidden from the consumer’s view, while profit drives the market. Joynn is creating the responsibility and accountability in the supply chain.

3. The new generation

The future truly belongs to the children, and we carry an immense responsibility towards ensuring their well-being and success. Joynn is dedicated to investing in the new generation through a variety of impactful social programs like scholarship, healthcare and social housing.

5. Supply chain

Bringing business together on a platform to work on circular products that aren’t harmful for the environment and people is only possible if we work together. The current linear model in the supply chain is not working and Joynn wants to assist by starting with the manufactures.

6. Create social impact

Customers will appreciate social impact when it is done in such a thoughtful and meaningful manner that it truly creates a positive influence. Especially when it is focused on initiatives for children, it becomes an impact that customers are genuinely happy and eager to contribute to, knowing that their involvement is making a difference in the lives of young individuals and the community at large.

7. Circular platform

If a customer is interested in sustainable products and making environmentally responsible choices, then JOYNN is the ideal platform to explore. We collaborate with manufacturers who value sustainability, ethical production, and eco-friendliness. Joynn aims not only to enhance consumer awareness but also to fundamentally change the supply chain dynamics.

8. Product life

Most of the products, when they reach the end of their life cycle, typically end up in a landfill or get incinerated. We ought to carefully consider how the products we create will eventually fit into a circular economy, where materials are reused, recycled, or repurposed, thereby reducing waste and conserving precious resources.

9. The JOYNN INDEX

Knowing how sustainable a product really is will depend on the score of the index that evaluates various factors related to environmental impact and resource usage. By doing this, we not only encourage manufacturers to actively work on improving their scores within the Index, but we also aim to foster a sense of responsibility towards more sustainable practices.

10. Transparency

Customers will have the opportunity to track the journey of their purchased products. They can also monitor the impact programs associated with these products in a clear and transparent manner. This will be made possible through the use of QR codes placed on the products, allowing for easy access to information about their origin and the positive effects they have on local communities.
