Label Emmaüs, known for its slogan "e-shop militant", represents a unique player in the E-Commerce and Marketplaces industries. Founded in 2016, the company is headquartered in France and operates under the ethos of repair over discard, aiming to transform the traditional e-commerce landscape into one that embodies inclusivity and solidarity.
As the first online marketplace dedicated to solidarity, Label Emmaüs currently serves as a sales channel and showcase for roughly forty physical Emmaüs stores. The company plans to extend its reach to a network of 350 Emmaüs sales spaces and bolster the solidarity economy. By acting as a trusted intermediary, it ensures secure transactions and centralized after-sales service, fostering trust between buyers and sellers.
The venture, structured as a cooperative, merges efforts from various stakeholders to enhance employment opportunities for marginalized groups within the digital and e-commerce sectors. Recently, it attracted a €1.50M Venture Round investment from notable investors including Mirova, Banque des Territoires, INCO Ventures, and France Active, underscoring the confidence in its innovative social business model.
