INTRODUCTION
‘Fruits for fashion’ - intriguing, isn’t it? Who says fruits
are just for the table? Welcome to Terraria, where we’re
rewriting the rules of style and sustainability. We take
discarded fruit pulp and give it a second life,
transforming it into stylish, cruelty-free products that
merge sustainability with flair. Here, we believe waste is
just untapped potential. So, our mission? It is to give
these discarded fruit wastes a glow-up by transforming
them into valuable and innovative products that aren’t
just cherished but also a plus one for Mother Nature!
Driven by a passion for sustainability, we offer an
alternative to traditional leather while minimizing
environmental footprint.
COMPANY
BACKGROUND
Vision Statement
To establish an eco-friendly system that society can
appreciate and adhere to, and pave the way for future
development where industrialization happens in parallel
to environmental preservation.
Mission Statement
We aim to transform discarded waste into valuable and
innovative products that will serve consumers and
inspire them to spread awareness about our
environmental well-being and limit pollution. (could be
phrased better)
COMPANY VALUES
Integrity
Integrity
Be open and honest about the materials
used, the manufacturing process, and the
company's environmental and social
impact.
Innovation
Continuously research and develop new
vegan leather materials and technologies
to improve performance, reduce
environmental impact, and meet evolving
consumer demands.
Quality
Produce high-quality vegan leather
products that are durable, stylish, and
comparable to traditional animal leather.
FUTURE
GOALS
Market Leadership
Become a recognized leader in the vegan
leather industry, setting standards for
quality, sustainability, and innovation.
Sustainability
Minimize environmental impact throughout
the entire production process, from sourcing
materials to manufacturing and distribution.
Brand Building
Establish a strong brand identity that
resonates with consumers who value ethical
and sustainable fashion choices.
COMPANY OBJECTIVES
01 02 03 04
Legal:
The company needs to ensure that the vegan leather products
meet all relevant safety standards and regulations regarding
chemicals, flammability and durability. The company also
needs to adhere to environmental regulations related to waste
disposal, emissions and water usage throughout the
production process. Furthermore, the company needs to
attain Vegan Certification.
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths:
Raw materials are inexpensive to source. This
means lower production costs and more
room for profit. Following this, we can also
implement a cost focus strategy since we can
charge lower prices than competitor firms
and still make profits. Eco-friendly products
will help the company gain a positive
reputation among customers and help to
increase sales in future.
SWOT ANALYSIS
Weaknesses:
Seasonal changes in Bangladesh may affect the
supply of raw materials. For example, since our
brand uses pineapple pulp as one of the raw
materials, complications may arise regarding the
sourcing of pineapple pulp due to it being a
seasonal fruit in Bangladesh. Trying to source pulps
of off season fruits will increase costs of production
and lower profits. Given that “Conservation of the
Environment” is a relatively new notion, the older
demographic is somewhat uninformed, thus it will
be difficult to persuade some groups of customers
due to lack of awareness.
SWOT ANALYSIS
Opportunities:
Vegan leather carries a great potential to tap into
the fashion industry and niche market. We can
provide customers more customization options
and enrich our branding to make vegan leather
clothing a separate commodity by itself.
Following that, as more people are being
informed and educated regarding environmental
concerns, our eco-friendly brand will be well
received and attract more customers in the long
run. Thus, it will increase our sales and total
profit.
SWOT ANALYSIS
Threats:
Securing a consistent and reliable supply of
raw materials for plant based vegan leathers
can be difficult. Following that, other artificial
leather products such as PU leather might be a
cheaper alternative for customers. Consumer
perception may fail to change as people may
still believe that vegan leather is inferior to
traditional leather.
ETHICAL Ethical Concerns:
CONCERNS & Based on our company structure and manufacturing
process, our corporation is likely to face a couple of ethical
Workers may not be paid the fair wage or get a safe working
environment, which is their right. Implementing job quotas
for marginalized groups such as women can lead to
sometimes men feeling excluded. Furthermore, extraction of
algae will affect the aquatic ecosystem, and sometimes the
energy consumed during greening can lead to energy
inefficiency and contribute to carbon emissions.
CORPORATE
SOCIAL PHILANTHROPIC
Contribute to the community through
PERFORMANCE various charities and giveaways
Corporate Philanthropy:
Our company is committed to giving back to the community through various philanthropic initiatives.
These include donating a portion of our profits to environmental organizations, supporting local
animal shelters, and providing vegan leather products to homeless shelters and orphanages.This
way, we can align our business with social responsibility to successfully make a positive impact
beyond our core operations and contribute to a more sustainable and compassionate society.
Corporate Responsibility:
We aim to charge reasonable prices and not overplay the green or socially friendly notion to make sure we do
not exploit this cause.We also need to be ethical regarding our business operations and ensure trust and
reliance between our company and stakeholders. Furthermore, meeting moral objectives of the stakeholders
while performing efficiently is a core priority of our company. Practising fair marketing and selling practices
such as meeting customer expectations derived from advertisements and ensuring products deliver
accordingly.
Corporate policy:
Our company aims to ethically source hygienic and high quality materials during the manufacturing
process to finally produce cruelty free products that meet quality standards. Additionally, we aim to
practice transparency regarding supply chain management and enforce labour compliance laws
that promote a healthy working environment. Finally, we will have a common vision practiced
among the employees which will encourage unity and enforce our code of ethics.

Sustainable And Green Supply Chain: Establish sustainability by prioritizing
plant and fruit based sources such as mango pulp discarded from juice,
pineapple leaves, apple peels as raw materials. We will aim for local
sourcing to reduce transport distances and associated emissions.
Following that, we will ensure fair wages and trade practices for workers
involved in the manufacturing process. Making continuous efforts
throughout the entire product manufacturing cycle such as reducing
transport emissions will lower the overall company production waste and
also ensure the usage of less chemicals.

EFFICIENCY
Automation: Implementing automated processes for tasks
like pulp preparation, sheet formation, and drying can
significantly increase production speed and efficiency.
