Our 2022 Impact Report

Covid-19 impacted the world in ways that no one was prepared for, with an unprecedented number of bankruptcies from businesses of all sizes happening in 2020 and 2021. As an impact-driven venture, HANDEP's survival and recovery required maximizing our limited resources to survive, so that the hundreds of Indigenous communities that depend on us continue to thrive.

For HANDEP, 2022 was a year of collaboration where we joined forces with other businesses and organizations to amplify our impact. We provided training and workshops to artisan communities, developed collaborative collections, and co-implemented exhibitions. We also started to work with other communities in West Kalimantan, expanding our portfolio to other materials such as Tenun (hand-woven traditional textile). Through these collaborations, we learned that we grew stronger together, encouraging us to pursue this path in the coming years.

We are grateful for the acknowledgment of our work in 2022, which included the Forbes 30 Under 30 for Social Impact and the Indonesia Brand Founders of the Year Award. We are still a work in progress, but innovation and impact are always rooted in our DNA, and we will continue to protect, heal and nurture both people and our planet in our relentless pursuit of a healthier and better world for current and future generations.

We are proud to share our impacts in 2022 here.
