Making
a Difference
In today’s world companies not only have a responsibility to generate profits
but also to create positive social and environmental change.
Orphan Lyrics™ is reinventing corporate giving by practicing
an altruistic approach to business where company gains are matched or exceeded by
charitable donations.
FAST COMPANY magazine reports that the philanthropic gold standard
today is 1% of sales, practiced and preached most famously by clothing giant Patagonia.
The average among all corporations is only 0.047%.
Across both its clothing lines Orphan Lyrics™ donates over 18% of sales to
children’s charities. At a time when 5% is considered unprecedented in business,
Orphan Lyrics™ is setting the bar very high.
