Vision & Mission
The
future begins now and
as such, Alter Eco intends to achieve, with imagination and commitment,
a Social Enterprise based upon art, both decorative and functional,
where everyone profits, and the ‘Triple Bottom Line’ (Economic, Social
and Environmental), benefits all.
Alter Eco is a home-based, sole
proprietorship in the Arts & Crafts Industry. We have been creating
original, decorative and
functional sculptures from recycled metals and found materials since
2002. During this period, we have been selling at art shows, e-commerce
and doing commissions in the GTA area. Recently we developed a gift
line and jewellery, which we are marketing weekly in the Historic St.
Lawrence Market area.
Beginning in January 1, 2004,
with new designs, we will be expanding our marketing to include
commercial work, wholesale and consignment with high-end galleries.
Also, we have an opportunity to share workspace and equipment to handle
the increased output.
We
look forward todeveloping strategic
alliances with others that share a similar commitment. Our goal is to
achieve recognition of the work that we create and the philosophy of
sustainability in business and in life.
