Mission.
Our mission is to engage the local community through employment opportunities in the Amhara region of Ethiopia and provide flexible, speed to market, solutions in a sustainable manner for our global customers.
The sourcing and supply chain is set up with sustainable climate stability at the core of its operations. Our raw material suppliers are based in proximity to Ethiopia. Our finished goods are shipped by sea through the Gulf of Suez and on to ports in Europe and the US or to South Africa, promoting sustainable bio-fuel options for all our destinations.
Community.
Lalibela Knits is a diverse and inclusive workplace that places our employees at the centre of everything we do. Employing over +2000 workers, we provide life-changing job opportunities to vulnerable communities across Ethiopia.
Our focus is on the social, environmental, and economic impact we have on the community. This is why we have a community-first approach that allows us to conceptualize initiatives to engage and empower our employees and the wider community in which we operate through charitable efforts and a stable workplace.
Sustainability.
Lalibela Knits works closely with our customers to promote best practices to ensure a circulatory economy.
Through the guidance of the Resilience Center at Stockholm University, we engage and encourage our global partners to promote reduced carbon emissions, protection of habitats, minimizing land use, reduction of freshwater consumption, promoting circular management of nutrients to preserve air and water qualities and a reduction of harmful chemicals.
