TOMS One for One PlanMatt Porteous
The Plan “With every purchase, TOMS will help a
person in need.” In 2006 TOMS was started to help bring
adequate shoes to children in need. By 2011 TOMS One for One plan was
expanded to TOMS Eyewear, to help restore sight to a person in need.
Continuing The Effort In 2014, TOMS is now proud to introduce
TOMS Roasting Co. that will provide a week of clean water to a person in need with every bag of coffee purchased.
TOMS simple idea has turned into a power business model for CSR and to address the need to help children in communities around the world.
The Numbers By December of their first year TOMS
had given 10,000 pairs of shoes. By September of 2010 1 Million pairs of
shoes had been given, and by June 2012 they had given 2 Million shoes away.
Now in 2014, over 35 Million shoes have been given and over 250,000 children have had their sight restored.
