Change the world! In business with women!
Our mission is to change the world by doing business with women. When a women's financial situation is strengthened, her power and influence also increase. We used to say that the private is political - now we know that the market is political too. As consumers, we have more power than we think. Make a sustainable choice when you shop - it makes a difference.

Policy and core values
Sustainable development attempts to unite respect for the environment, social justice and balanced economic development. In real terms, for Sister Business AB this means:

- The products sold via sisbiz.se go straight from the company that owns the brand to the consumer with no intermediaries or unnecessary transport. This means reduced carbon emissions. There are no formal requirements for environmental certification, but the goods, services and attractions that are certified can benefit from even more space on sisbiz.se.

- Sister Business want to contribute to better financial terms for women around the world. There are no formal requirements for environmental certification, but the goods, services or attractions that are certified can benefit from even more space on sisbiz.se.

- sisbiz.se increases the reach of local markets. Enterprising women will find it easier to find costumers for their goods, services and attractions. Because there are fewer intermediaries the share of the profit that returns to the company that owns the brand is increased. Many small deals create financial stability.

Sister Business's ambitions are not just to develop a commercial website, but also to act as support and inspiration for sustainable development for women around the world. This is the reason for the Lovely Sisters foundation that supports and promotes opportunities for women, as well as for the Good for her award that is awarded to successful women who share our core values.
