Social Enterprise Thankyou Launches Bold Initiative to Help End Extreme Poverty

 Social Enterprise Thank you Launches Bold Initiative to Help End Extreme Poverty

by Seeking Partnership from Competitors P&G and Unilever,

Two of the World’s Largest Companies

The Australian consumer products company is asking for people around the globe to join their movement to flip consumerism and change the world

 Today, Australia-based social enterprise Thank you announced an invitation to P&G and Unilever - two of the world’s largest and most influential consumer goods companies - to make and distribute Thankyou products globally to help end extreme poverty. To convince these companies to take this bold move, Thankyou is asking people around the world to get involved and show the collective power of the many who believe in this change, through its campaign aptly named “No Small Plan.”  Thank you offers consumer products - personal care and baby product ranges - for the sole purpose of funding life-changing projects.

 Thankyou was created to close the gap between the 736 million people* living in extreme poverty around the world and the $63 trillion spent on consumer products each year**. After all the costs in running a business to get great consumer products to people are taken care of, every last cent that Thankyou makes goes toward ending extreme poverty. With this model, Thank you seeks to flip consumerism…for good.





'With $63 trillion spent on consumer goods each year while 736 million people are stuck in extreme poverty, we believe that business as usual is broken,” said Daniel Flynn, who founded Thank you in 2008 along with Justine Flynn and Jarryd Burns. “But we also believe that we, together with people and a partnership with one of the two biggest companies in the world, can change this by funneling the dollars spent on consumer goods into helping end extreme poverty.”

Currently, Thankyou only sells its products in two of the world’s smallest countries - Australia and New Zealand - but with COVID-19 increasing both global poverty numbers and demand for personal care products such as hand sanitiser, the company feels that now is the time to expand, and quickly. If either P&G or Unilever choose to accept Thankyou’s invitation, together they could change the course of history and route millions of consumer dollars to ending extreme poverty.
