Our Commitment to Ethical Standards and Sustainability
At Hazaar, our mission is to empower students to embrace sustainability without compromising their lifestyle. We recognise that everyone’s situation is unique, and we offer simple, effortless solutions and incentivised choices to help students balance their needs and sustainability goals.
Our Four Guiding Principles
Our business is built on four core pillars that shape everything we do: Sustainability, Accessibility, Employability, and Community. Each of these principles is fundamental to our mission:
- Sustainability: We make circular shopping habits accessible and engaging for university students, helping them reduce their environmental footprint.
- Accessibility: We provide a diverse range of products tailored to university students' needs, ensuring everyone can find what they need.
- Employability: We create employment opportunities for students through our ambassador and content creator roles, offering valuable work experience and income.
- Community: We foster a vibrant community that encourages sustainable behaviours and builds a sense of belonging among students.
Aligning with the UN’s SDG Goals
We align ourselves with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), striving to address some of the world’s most pressing issues. We seek partners who share our values and commitment to creating a better future.
