Dzambuling Imports is a non-political business committed to the model of a successful enterprise. Using the power of a pre-existing markets, and through social entrepreneurship, Dzambuling Imports sustains a positive impact beyond profit. With a triple bottom line perspective, they try to take into account all stake holders. This includes direct relationships, indirect relationships, and impacts that arise from the company operations, which range from their own employees, partners' employees, and continues through the spectrum to the company's carbon impact on the planet as a whole.
We became a B Corp because we want to support and participate with other companies that hold the same positives values as we do for constructive beliefs, other people, other species, and the planet as a whole.
The Change We Seek™
The immediate and narrow goal is that we want to make a significant contribution toward the well being of the seriously under-served population of Tibet. We want to help them preserve their rich past, improve their present circumstances, and prepare a brighter future for themselves. Beyond that we aspire to awaken the $100 billion US malt beverage industry, that has little engagement with the social sphere, to the possibility that by doing good they can also do well. As of now a tiny fraction, much less than 1%, of the industry has any kind of social mission or positive impact attached to their business model. By demonstrating that such purpose, when integrated into brand identity and supported by action, can be additive toward success. It is our hope that it could spur the large industry players to also begin to make measurable positive impact a part of their own business models.
