We believe companies should use their profits to make the world much better. If you could build a business that has the potential to save one million kids' lives rather than keeping it to yourself and a small group of investors, our choice is clear, and we hope to inspire others to make better choices too. With help from philanthropists we believe these companies can become the biggest in the world, and we want to be one of those companies.

Effective charities are charities that save or improve lives and the planet the most per euro. In our case we want to save as many kids' lives as possible. We work with GiveWell to make sure we’re saving as many kids lives as we can, by donating to organisations that are best at saving kids lives. All of our financials are 100% transparent, so you can check how much we’re spending and donating.

We pay our employees normal salaries, we reinvest in our business so we can donate more later, we pay our taxes and whatever is left in profits we donate to organisations that save kids lives instead of giving it to a few investors. We're doing it because it's the only right thing to do. It's important that we make our money in a good way, so all of our products are sustainable. We’re funded by philanthropists to help us grow. You can find more information on our giving page. 

People prefer to buy brands that donate to a charity they like rather than one that gives to a shareholder they don't know. And you rather work for a company that donates to a charity you like. So if most people want this, why don't we have many more companies who donate their profits to make the world better?

The short answer is shareholders. They invest in businesses to multiply their money. Unless they are impact investors or philanthropists, they do not invest in businesses that don't have odds to multiply their money. We're not against investors who enable companies to innovate and scale, but we do think the resulting profits should be used to improve people's lives and the planet. If you're a billionaire you have a moral obligation to help others who are much less fortunate than you, and the many people who your success depended on. Profits should be shared, and one of the best ways to do that is for companies to donate their profits to good causes. 

We're part of a new wave of Profit for Good companies who use their profits to make the world much better for all. Our employees get paid a fair salary, but you won't find a CEO earning millions, and whatever is left in profits we donate to save kids' lives. All of our financials are 100% transparent. You can help the movement by buying from companies that donate all profits, working for them or even starting them.

All of our financials are completely transparent and you can find them in our 100 transparent report. We understand you're not an accountant, so if you have any questions, let us know!

And yes, our founders drink a lot of cappucino's, we told them already, but they say they 'need' them. 

We pay our employees normal salaries, we reinvest in our business so we can donate more later, we pay our taxes and whatever is left in profits we donate to organisations that save kids lives instead of giving it to rich investors. We're doing it because it's the only right thing to do. It's important that we make our money in a good way, so we're making vintage fashion buying 10 times faster and 4 times cheaper for you, so you don't have to buy new. We’re funded by philanthropists to help us grow.

People enjoy buying from companies that have this "Profit for Good" business model more than ones that give profits to investors, so we can grow faster and donate more profits to save kids' lives. 

Profit for Good companies (PFG's) are companies that donate all non-reinvested profits to make the world better instead of giving it to investors. Some well known examples are Patagonia and Bosch. BOAS is showing that startups can also be succesful PFG's, in the hope that more companies become PFG's and you have more and more options to do good with your everyday purchases. We donate all profits to save kids lives, but other PFG's donate to other causes, such as the environment or to help end extreme poverty. 

We offer free returns on vintage fashion, but we encourage people to measure their favorite pants and compare it with the measurements of our jeans for the perfect fit. Returns are costly for the environment and BOAS, and minimizing them means more profit to charities that save lives and lower impact on the environment. If you want to return an item, send an email to support@boas.co with your order number, why you're returning (this will help us make it better so you don't have to return in the future) and which items you want to return and we'll send instructions and refund the order straight away.
