The companies I have chosen are (profit) Adidas (non-profit) Emmaus.
First I’m going to tell about the Global non-profit organization Emmaus.
Emmaus is a charity; their purpose is to help others by selling clothing, furniture etc. They offer people who have troubles a place to stay, they offer them a second change.
Emmaus is still a private business, because they don’t need the money from the government. Emmaus get’s his money by selling stuff.
Emmaus is set up by Henri Antoine Groues, who bought a big house in France and called it ‘Emmaus’ from here he started to collect old clothing and sell it to the poor people for a very cheap price, so the poor people had clothing. The money he raised he used to help other people. The house was so big so other people came also in the house, and helped him with his job.
Emmaus was getting bigger and bigger. He asked the government for 1 million francs to build special houses. In the beginning the government not approved this, but after a while they gave 10 million francs as a gift!!!! For Henri to build houses for the poor!
In 1966 Emmaus started in Holland, on a farm in Haarzuilens, and so a big charity group started.
Emmaus is owned by several foundations:
ACME (World Water Contract Association)
CRID (Development Research and Information Centre)
Coordinationsud.org
EAPN (European Anti-Poverty Network)
