A Perfect Pairing: Valor Hospitality and Veldskoen
At Veldskoen, we’re not just about making cool shoes, we’re all about doing good too. From the materials we use to the people we work with, we aim to tread lightly on this earth. That’s why we’re super excited to announce our global partnership with Valor Hospitality, a company that’s as passionate about sustainability and ethical practices as we are.
When we look for partners, we want to work with people who share our values and vision for a better future. Valor Hospitality fits that bill perfectly. Co-founder of Veldskoen Shoes, Nick Dreyer says, “We’ve chosen Valor as our only global hospitality partner because they’re just as committed to excellence, sustainability, and ethical practices as we are.”
Valor isn’t just ticking boxes when it comes to sustainability, they’re taking it to the next level. From how they treat their employees to the way they run their hotels, they’re all about doing business responsibly. And that aligns with what we’re all about at Veldskoen; making shoes that don’t just look and feel great but are made with care for the planet and the people.
For us, sustainability goes way beyond using eco-friendly materials. Dreyer says “Sustainability in an African context is so much bigger than that. It’s about contributing meaningfully to communities. And we’re proud to say that every pair of Veldskoen shoes supports the work of 66 amazing people. The more shoes we make, the more jobs and opportunities we help create.”
Euan McGlashan, Global Co-Founder and CEO of Valor Hospitality, couldn’t agree more. He calls this partnership “a huge step—literally—in the right direction” for sustainability. And we couldn’t agree more. Valor’s commitment to building a better work environment and championing green initiatives goes hand in hand with our goals of leaving nothing but footprints behind (and stylish ones at that).
By joining forces with Valor, we’re ensuring our products and practices are as good for the planet as they are for the people who wear them. Together, we’re not just talking about change, we're making it happen.
