Embracing Corporate Responsibility
This year, we were honored to be named a finalist for D CEO’s Nonprofit and Corporate Citizenship Awards 2024 in the Collaboration of the Year category - a recognition that makes us proud and happy to share!
The Power of Leadership in Corporate Responsibility
The D CEO Awards for Corporate Responsibility serve as a powerful reminder of the impact businesses can have when they go beyond profit to truly make a difference. It was inspiring to witness leaders who are not just talking about change but actively walking the talk, using their platforms to drive positive, lasting impact in the communities they work in. The award truly highlights the immense potential we have when business and purpose align.

We believe that every decision, every partnership, and every product we create has the power to shape a more sustainable and equitable future. But we cannot do it alone.

At Wearsos, our commitment to corporate responsibility and community empowerment is woven into every aspect of our work.
Our Journey at DCEO’s Awards
The journey to D CEO’s Nonprofit and Corporate Citizenship Awards was a milestone for us, not just for the recognition but as a chance to showcase how our small social enterprise in Turrialba, Costa Rica, is making a global impact. The event united like-minded organizations and leaders, highlighting the collective power of shared missions and values. We were deeply inspired by the stories and initiatives highlighted throughout the event, each reinforcing the importance of responsible business practices and the potential for real-world change.
The Power of Community and Partnerships
Our success is deeply rooted in the strength of our partnerships and the communities we serve.
Through this partnership, we’ve not only reduced waste by upcycling retired aircraft seat leather into high-quality products but also created meaningful economic opportunities in rural areas. Our artisans in Turrialba craft each product with care, knowing that their work is part of a larger effort to promote sustainability and empower their community. This work is a tangible example of how sustainable fashion can drive positive change - proof that when businesses and social enterprises collaborate, the results can be transformative.
If you’re a company or leader who wants to drive sustainability and social responsibility in your organization, we invite you to partner wits. Together, we can create a ripple effect of positive change.
A Circular Economy in Action
Central to our mission is the concept of a circular economy. Unlike the traditional linear model of production, which typically ends in waste, a circular economy seeks to keep resources in use for as long as possible. By repurposing materials like airline seat leather, we are reducing our environmental footprint while creating products that tell a story of sustainability and responsibility.
This approach not only benefits the environment but also supports economic growth in communities that need it most. Our work in Turrialba exemplifies how circular economy principles can be applied to create a more sustainable and equitable future. For companies looking to incorporate sustainable practices into their operations, Wearsos offers a way to make a tangible impact.
Looking Forward
As we look ahead, we remain committed to expanding our impact and deepening our partnerships. Being a finalist for the D CEO’s Nonprofit and Corporate Citizenship Awards 2024 is a proud moment for us, but it also reminds us of the continued work needed to advance sustainability and community empowerment.
We invite corporate partners to join us on this journey - whether by supporting our products, integrating them into your corporate gifting strategies, or collaborating on community initiatives. Reach out - together, we can inspire change and build a better future for all.
