Solidrinks was started to a) solve immediate social problems and to b) abstain from the distribution of profit among the founders or partners (it is ‘non-profit-making’). Instead, all profit goes to a third party – the projects we support. Nevertheless, there will first be a profit once we’ve managed to sell enough bottles to cover all our expanses and adequately remunerate all staff.
The association takes part in different events like festivals and markets and explains how social and political consumption via solidrinking leads to political engagement and a solidary.
