About mikkaneo – Our Values
1. Regional and authentic products
We stand for authentic, regional products that come directly from the people in their local communities and convey the spirit of their home and their story. We do this in a true partnership and never in a way that comes at their expense.
2. Cultural & artistic support
We support Europe’s art and cultural scene by giving artists and small labels from across the continent visibility and reach for their products. As a Social Business Company, we additionally actively support artistic and cultural projects in Europe with every sale.
3. Sustainable & environmentally conscious consumption
We rely on durable, high-quality products, not cheaply produced industrial goods with a short lifespan. We aim for climate-neutral consumption and plan to make mikkaneo climate-neutral across all value chains (scope 1-3) by 2029.
