The Matcha Initiative is based in Singapore and we support local businesses.
However, some companies are based abroad and are still able to operate in Singapore: we would list them as well.
When we can't find a relevant supplier in Singapore, we look into the SEA region first, then broader.
The Matcha Initiative is consinuously updated by volunteers. We publish as we go along.

All TMI team members are aware of their footprint. Unfortunately it was not always possible for us to make sustainable choices. For instance, our website is built on Webflow by Clément, who needed to self-learn the tool at the same time. But Webflow only allows us to be hosted on AWS, which is not the most sustainable choice.
Our next steps consist in switching to a more sustainable host, measure our carbon footprint and find a good way to offset it.
Kindly note we started with the environment aspect of sustainability and will do our best to cover the social impact on a second phase.
The Do-Gooders are the volunteer contributors to the platform. They worked on the website, the content, the rating, etc. Learn more about their profile here.
