LOHAS stands for Lifestyle of Health and Sustainability. It is an idea that has become the movement for our generation, aiming to bring sustainable environmental, economic and social balance back to our planet. We want to inspire individuals and businesses to find their own unique way of living sustainably. The LOHAS movement has grown from a small group of individuals – pioneers in the organic food movement, supporters of green fuels and recycled, well, everything – to become a true force for good in the world.
LOHASIA is a small team of LOHASIANS based in Singapore and Shanghai – who decided to be the change we wanted to see in the world. We've made it our mission to inspire as many people as possible to bring the LOHAS philosophy into their daily lives, helping you protect our planet and allowing you to live a fuller, happier and healthier life.
We see ourselves as a catalyst for the LOHAS movement by working with both LOHAS businesses and consumers. On the B2B side, we have developed an online network - THE HUB by LOHAS - of over 850 global sustainable businesses. This network is a resource by sustainable SMEs for sustainable SMEs and Members of THE HUB by LOHAS not only get access to like-minded entrepreneurs, potential partners and collaboration opportunities, they also get access to our team's advisory services, research and insight and can apply for investment and mentoring through the LOHAS Accelerator.
On the B2C side, we are growing an online community of engaged individuals that want to live more balanced lives, for their own health and that of their family, community and the planet as a whole. We are in the process of launching a news / content site which will act as a resource for individuals that want to introduce a little more LOHAS to their lives, as well as an ecommerce platform – the LOHASIA Store – linking the LOHAS brands in our HUB to a global customer base.
