Sustainability:

We have a unique systematic approach built into our businesses core foundation where all business decisions are vetted and funneled through a Corporate Social Responsibility Matrix to minimize negative environmental, social (stakeholders), and economic impacts. When we say SAUVAGE ZSA™ is a ‘sustainable’ luxurious lifestyle company, we have transparent metrics available but in layman’s terms, this is what we mean:

1. Every part of this business takes into account and works towards balancing the (3) sustainability pillars including implementing and using innovation to improve social impacts, reduce potential environmental impacts, and improve economic vitality. Here are a few examples of sustainable initiatives implemented at SAUVAGE ZSA™:

• • we host community centered ad-value events, ad-value meaning we provide a service, teach, support, and facilitate events that benefit community stakeholders.
  • purchasing power: we only buy from suppliers who offer ‘fair trade’ guarantees on their products, prioritizing products made by minority-owned factories or farmers, and working with suppliers who have a proven high quality track record ideally with certifications such as fair trade, sustainable forestry certified, no animal cruelty, vegan, OEKO-TEX, TENCIL, and GOTS Organic Cotton standards.
  • curating mutually-beneficial products from minority-owned small businesses; minority meaning women, BIPOC+, AAPI, and cultural heritage/generational operations.
  • using packaging that positively impacts low-income communities by removing plastic pollution from oceans (which in turn protects fishermen livelihood and ocean health) and provides livelihood opportunities to regions with high climate change risk.
  • supporting local small businesses for Brick & Mortar outfitting and procurement needs.
  • minimizing environmental impact so that there is more energy and resources for future generations. All water features in the Brick & Mortar are low flow, Energy Star certified units; even the high temp dishwasher recycles over 80% of its water during regular use, ultimately saving precious water resources for future generations.
  • selecting products which have inherent social benefits such as organic cotton or biodegradable materials that have a traceable lifecycle.
    
  • copyright and trademark protection of (8) product classifications for customer quality assurance and to maintain brand authenticity. Maintaining customer and market trust through acquisition of a Better Business Bureau Certification. 
  • utilizing biophyllic design in the Brick & Mortar store concept to enhance stakeholder experience, improve productivity, increase biodiversity, and biometric frequencies.
  • only using full spectrum LED daylight bulbs to reduce energy loads and extend the lifecycle of lighting features in Brick & Mortar.
  • utilizing low waste, no VOC, hypoallergenic, and minimizing environmental toxin exposure in all cleaning products from hand soap to paint on the walls, cleaning products, etc. No aerosols are used in the Brick & Mortar space, and no artificial fragrances are allowed. 
  • Packaging material is 100% post consumer recycled, and mostly back yard compostable. This area of business is constantly being improved to achieve carbon negative efficiency and reduce environmental waste.
  • Wine purchased for retail and by-the-glass specials are curated from small vineyards; prioritizing biodynamic and organically harvested materials. 
    
  • All curated products are acquired using carbon neutral shipping methods and priced using a sustainable pricing structure for consumer affordability and stakeholder satisfaction.
  • The business operator also actively manages and preserves 20 acres of heritage pine forest for future generation through a land conservancy. This area of business is being actively developed and improved to eventually reach the goal of certifying the business as a net-zero-energy operation.
