OVER DINNER these ladies conceptuallized a one stop shop that would offer alternatives that could help everyone (the business and the suppliers) live a sustainable life. Echo store houses products from small producers who do not have access to maintain an outlet and sell their products in a high traffic area. These groups need help in product development, branding, marketing and strategically positioning their products in the market where global products get much attention.
They use only organic or natural products which are safe for the body and are not harmful for the environment, They partner with foundations and communities which focus on livelihood and communitty development. Like Human nature they also practice fair trade. They support organic farmers , growers and environment through sustainable agriculture. They help reduce, reuse and recycle waste whenever possible
