'Feel Marvellous' corresponds to the 'S' for social. This refers to how we aim to make people feel marvellous! On the one hand by being a great employer for our colleagues, creating a fun, healthy and safe working environment where everybody feels included. But also by doing good for people outside our organisation through the philanthropic efforts that we undertake as a team.
We want to make people feel marvellous. First, through the creation of our clothes. But in some cases, it requires more than perfect shorts or trousers to feel marvellous. That’s why we support various charitable organisations. Next to financial support, we donate our time and expertise to various communities.
Since 2021, we're proud partners of KiKa Korte Broek (translated: KiKa Shorts). KiKa is a Dutch charity that raises funds for research in the field of childhood cancer. By wearing our shorts in December, dedicating our time and expertise to help out with the campaign and donating the proceeds of all the shorts sold in the Netherlands during the campaign, we make our contribution to a world free of child cancer. Last year, the campaign raised €1,085,748.
Since 2022, we support Het Danspaleis. The mission of Het Danspaleis is to keep all seniors in the Netherlands vital and included and to fight loneliness through dancing and music. They do so by organising dance parties for seniors in elderly homes around the country. MR MARVIS helps fund the organisation and volunteers yearly at Het Danspaleis. It makes their day, and ours too!
Sometimes a piece of clothing can make a difference. That is why we partner with Dress for Success, an organisation empowering individuals with limited income by outfitting them for interviews or presentations.
Last year, we donated 51 garments to Dress For Success.
We highly appreciate the diverse and international character of our team and value the different perspectives our colleagues bring to the table. Therefore, creating and nurturing a diverse, equal and inclusive working environment is super important to us. This means that we treat each individual with respect. We do not discriminate; not on age, religion, country of birth, gender, sexual orientation or other personal preferences. But that’s not enough. We continuously educate our people on topics of Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (JEDI) to create a workplace that allows everyone to feel safe being their authentic selves. Recently, we established a dedicated JEDI committee to further integrate these topics across every aspect of our business.
