Mango Tree has been a leading company in East Africa in pursuing a triple bottom-line: profits, people and planet.

Profits

• We set profitability goals and project and track sales systematically to ensure sustainability and create capital for ongoing business improvements
• We distinguish ourselves from Uganda's crowded non-profit sector by generating revenues from sales of products & services, not from charitable grants
• We pay corporate taxes to support Uganda's government and social programs

People

• Our products and services are designed to serve Uganda's vulnerable populations including:
  • Rural communities
  • HIV positive individuals
  • Orphans
  • Women and children
  • The disabled
• We invest in our staff through on-going professional development opportunities
• Employees gain power and knowledge thru our transparency with financial data, decision making and planning
• We provide our employees with a fair salary and benefits that include health and life insurance
• Mango Tree is majority employee-owned, with almost all shares owned by Ugandan citizens and residents
• Mango Tree supports other small enterprises, especially those that employ marginalized groups like the disabled, HIV+ individuals and women, through subcontractor relationships
• 10% of Mango Tree's after tax profits have sponsored poor, academically gifted students in Uganda

Planet

• Many of our products are made from environmentally friendly materials that encourage recycling. Product materials include:
  • grain sacks
  • bottle tops
  • cardboard
  • bicycle spokes and wire
  • plastic containers and jerry cans.
