YourStuffMade’s Purpose Statement
YourStuffMade purpose and stakeholder governance
YourStuffMade’s Purpose Statement
YourStuffMade exists to help artists, brands, makers and communities create custom products in a way that is more ethical, transparent and positive for people and the planet.
Yourstuffmade Pty Ltd has embedded a purpose statement and stakeholder governance clause into the company’s constitution. This means our mission is not just marketing language. It is built into how we make decisions, grow the business and consider our impact.
Why this page exists
Purpose should survive growth, leadership changes and capital raises
Many businesses start with good intentions, but those intentions can become weaker as the company grows, takes investment, changes leadership or faces commercial pressure. YourStuffMade’s purpose and stakeholder governance commitment is designed to keep our mission embedded at the core of the business.
This signals to our investors, customers, employees, suppliers, directors and maker community that YourStuffMade is committed to a higher standard of accountability in decision-making.
Our belief: custom products should be joyful, creative and commercially successful — but never at the cost of workers, communities, the environment or human dignity.
Plain-English summary
What YourStuffMade’s purpose statement means
Our company purpose is to deliver returns to shareholders while having an overall positive impact on society and the environment. In practice, this means YourStuffMade is designed to consider more than profit alone.
We still need to build a healthy, profitable and resilient business so we can keep serving makers and funding long-term improvements.
We aim to make custom manufacturing better by supporting ethical production, better supplier standards and clearer customer education.
We consider the likely long-term consequences of major decisions, rather than only the fastest or cheapest path.
By embedding purpose into governance, we create a stronger expectation that our mission continues as the company evolves.
Stakeholder governance
Who YourStuffMade considers when making decisions
Stakeholder governance means company decisions should consider the people and systems affected by the business. For YourStuffMade, this includes makers, customers, workers, suppliers, communities, the environment, shareholders and the wider custom product industry.
How we make decisions
Our stakeholder decision filter
When YourStuffMade makes important decisions, our governance commitment encourages us to ask better questions that are practical, commercial and aligned with our mission.
What are the likely consequences of this decision over time?
How does this affect customers, employees, suppliers, makers and workers?
Does this strengthen or weaken the communities we serve?
Can we reduce waste, improve sourcing or choose a more responsible option?
Important: stakeholder governance does not mean one factor always wins. It means directors and officers can consider multiple stakeholder impacts when discharging their duties.

Your choices help shape the custom product industry

- Choose ethical custom products when creating merch, event products, artist goods or branded merchandise.
- Ask better supplier questions about labour standards, production conditions, materials and accountability.
- Support trusted charities working on human trafficking prevention, child protection and modern slavery response.
- Share resources from organisations like Hope for Justice, Slave-Free Alliance, Walk Free, UNICEF, ILO and Anti-Slavery International.
