Sustainability

From the very beginning of our supply chain, we responsibly select and manage premium natural materials to minimize waste and protect the delicate ecosystems surrounding Vietnam’s craft villages. We strictly adhere to both domestic and international environmental regulations, ensuring every step—from harvesting to processing—preserves biodiversity. Our low-emission practices and safe, eco-conscious handling of natural treatments reflect our dedication to leaving the lightest possible footprint while producing durable, beautiful handicrafts that honor nature.

At the core of our sustainability journey is our unwavering preference for renewable, biodegradable natural materials like rattan, bamboo, seagrass, and water hyacinth—all fast-growing resources that regenerate quickly without harming the environment. We partner exclusively with trusted local suppliers who share our values, guaranteeing traceability and ethical sourcing. These materials not only result in stunning, lightweight, and resilient products but also significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to synthetic alternatives. We proudly guide our customers in selecting the best sustainable options, helping them build collections that are as kind to the planet as they are elegant and functional.

We thoughtfully integrate LEAN principles into our traditional handmade processes, streamlining workflows, eliminating unnecessary steps, and optimizing the use of every precious natural resource—without ever compromising the careful, patient artistry that defines true handicraft. This balanced approach drastically reduces waste, conserves energy, and lowers our overall environmental impact while maintaining the exceptional quality our customers expect. More importantly, it cultivates a workplace culture of continuous improvement, where artisans and team members alike are empowered to suggest small, meaningful changes that enhance efficiency, sustainability, and pride in their craft over the long term.

Our artisans are the beating heart of EHM, and their well-being is fundamental to everything we do. We provide fair wages, comprehensive training, safe and ergonomic working environments, and full compliance with laws prohibiting child or forced labor. We celebrate the rich diversity of skills, backgrounds, and perspectives within our teams, fostering an inclusive atmosphere that encourages creativity, innovation, and mutual respect. By investing in ongoing skill development and health initiatives, we ensure that generational knowledge of weaving traditions continues to thrive, while each individual feels valued, motivated, and secure in their livelihood.

With profound gratitude to the local communities and craft villages that have supported us for over two decades, we actively give back through meaningful social and environmental initiatives. We sponsor education and vocational training programs for young artisans, fund reforestation and conservation projects, and promote the cultural heritage of Vietnam’s traditional handicrafts on global stages. Every basket, tray, or piece of furniture we create carries forward this legacy of kindness—contributing not only to beautiful homes worldwide but also to stronger communities, preserved traditions, and a healthier planet for generations to come. Together, we are weaving a brighter, more sustainable tomorrow.
