SDG 1

Despite progress under the MDGs, approximately 17% of the world's population - more than 1 billion people - still lives at or below $1.25 per day. Over the past decade, markets in developing countries have expanded dramatically, and the volume of funds flowing from the private sector to these countries now dwarfs that of foreign aid, making the private sector one of the most significant influencers of global poverty.

Certain groups are disproportionately represented among the poor, and face additional constraints - such as limited access to productive resources and markets - in escaping poverty. These include women, persons with disabilities, children, and indigenous peoples.

At Joroh Clothing LINE, we ensure that we meet their responsibility to respect human rights, including the rights of these priority groups. We also had the opportunity to proactively take measures to address constraints faced by these groups, such as through our inclusive business model, innovative products and/or services that better meet their needs, and by leveraging the unique perspectives of these groups as consumers, employees, suppliers and distributors in the value-chain, and community-members.
