Why this is needed

Financial, sustainable and ethical overview of the current lack of animal protection

$8.5 trillion

in external health and climate costs are caused by the global livestock sector, per year.

90% of farm animals

originate from factory farms. That is: 99.97% of chickens, 95% of egg-laying hens, 99.9% of turkeys, 70% of cows, and 98% of pigs.

11% of Global GHG

emissions are directly related to animal cruelty in factory farms - showing animal welfare and climate change are interlinked.

$112.5 billion waste

is the yearly waste of cows in factory farming, the value of 75 million cows.

A 61% reduction

in global livestock emissions are required by 2036 to reach the Paris Agreement.

$708.7 billion

is the estimated global leather market value by 2030.Leather is counted as a by-product of the meat industry and, therefore lacks animal welfare and origin traceability.

Veganism is growing rapidly, but so are factory farms.

Instead factory farms are on the rise - it's an issue. 750 million farms exist globally where 90% of farmed animals are kept in factory farms. The facts are clear (source: Our world in data) that sustainable farms that care about animal compassion go out of business and are replaced with factory farms. We need to change this. We work with pragmatic solutions to ensure animal protection transparency and to economically incentives animal welfare. Our vision is: A world where the welfare of the animals controls market demand and pushes conservation and ethical innovation efforts forward.
With a 500% growth in search the last 8 years one might think the growth of veganism has slowed down global meat consumption - but it has not and it's an animal welfare issue.

Change is already happening

Brands have become a vehicle of change. A strong brand purpose is projected to give 175% growth over 12years compared to a weak brand purpose.

The EU´s CSDD directive will impact both consumers and companies within and outside the EU, and aim to increase transparency, sustainability, and responsibility in the chain.

Bridging fashion and agriculture

Our vision on how to accelerate animal protection

Farm

The animal is killed for its meat. The farmer gets no payment for the leather (by-product)
The farmer gets paid for the meat + a % of all by-products having positive animal welfare data. The additional revenue model economically incentivises improved animal protection.

Slaughter house

The slaughterhouse gets paid for the leather

Tannery

The current leather price is based on how much of the total surface is without “flaws” (scars, etc). Animal welfare is not a parameter when deciding quality or price.

Designer

The designer buys leather based on Surface Quality.

Consumer

The consumers buys leather that could originate from factory farms or sustainable farms - they don’t know

Re-selling

Our vision is an ongoing loyalty chain - where circular and purposeful fashion helps improve animal protection - at scale, on repeat.

Example: The original product was 10 EUR, after 2 years the product is sold for 100 EUR. 1% of the profit (when re-sold on Responsible Systems) goes back to the involved parties (farms etc) to continue improving their animal welfare.

Farm

The animal is killed for its meat. The farmer gets no payment for the leather (by-product)
The farmer gets paid for the meat + a % of all by-products having positive animal welfare data. The additional revenue model economically incentivises improved animal protection.

Slaughter house

The slaughterhouse gets paid for the leather
The slaughterhouse gets paid for the leather + an added % based on animal welfare data (prior and current). The animal welfare payment is distributed between them and prior parties.

Tannery

The current leather price is based on how much of the total surface is without “flaws” (scars, etc). Animal welfare is not a parameter when deciding quality or price.
Leather is sold on two parameters:
Surface Quality & Animal Welfare. They get an additional revenue model. Payment of it is divided between them and prior parties.

Designer

The designer buys leather based on Surface Quality.
Buy based on Surface Quality + Animal Welfare. The additional price of animal welfare (example + 10 euro) gets divided between the parties contributing to this parameter.

Consumer

The consumers buys leather that could originate from factory farms or sustainable farms - they don’t know
The consumers have products with digital and traceable IDs showing the entire supply chain from an animal protection point of view. 

Re-selling

Our vision is an ongoing loyalty chain - where circular and purposeful fashion helps improve animal protection - at scale, on repeat.

Example: The original product was 10 EUR, after 2 years the product is sold for 100 EUR. 1% of the profit (when re-sold on Responsible Systems) goes back to the involved parties (farms etc) to continue improving their animal welfare.
