Being purpose-driven means that you are pursuing a goal, that is meaningful and which contributes to the well-being of others. We asked each company how they are cultivating their purpose to create the purpose profile below.
If you want to work for this company, you can sign up to our community to get in touch with them. All companies with purpose profiles are committed to provide you with access to the community so that you can continue cultivating your purpose while employed.
These are our principles and beliefs we hold dear and our motivation behind everything we do:
We believe in peoples right to freedom and a self-determined life. We also believe in sustainability and consider social justice as fundamental to achieve a sustainable future for all. For us at DropFriends, a sense of togetherness and human connection are crucial to build a better future for all.
Comparing our beliefs and principles with the state of the world, we identify the following problem we aim to solve:
However, when it comes to receiving packages customers have to sacrifice their freedom to do what they want to do whenever they want to do it and compromise their values of social justice and sustainability by relying on delivery services from state-wide igopols that enforce inhumane working conditions. As a result, the human connection between service providers and recipients suffers. In addition, customers have to delay the satisfaction of their needs beyond what is optimal and possible.
This is how we solve the problem:
This is why we are building a network of DropPoints close to our customers' homes that will always be accessible to any delivery service. These DropPoints foster the connection between neighbours, reduces the emission of carbon dioxide by optimising the logistics behind each delivery, and improves social justice by giving delivery drivers access to convenient DropPoints and helping them deliver the packages quicker.
Once we solve the problem, this is how the world will look like:
With DropFriends, we are pursuing the vision of a social and easily accessible logistics landscape for households, parcel carriers and businesses - around the clock and in a sustainable manner.
