Urban Iki & corporate social responsibility

Social entrepreneurship for Urban Iki is inspired by the Japanese ‘Kaizen’ idea. The Japanese word 改 (‘kai’) means ‘to change’ and 善 (‘zen’) means ‘good’. It teaches people to see and exclude waste in a process. For us, this is the starting point for the continuous improvement of our business processes. People, earth and product therefore come together perfectly in our corporate culture. We believe that this thought will benefit future generations in the long run.
