Projects
From day one, we’ve been committed to supporting projects that help us expand our mission — to build a better community. Your support is essential, and below you’ll find the initiatives we’ve been proud to take part in. We’re deeply grateful for your contributions, and equally thankful to all the organizations doing the real work on the ground.
Supporting Swiss Biodiversity
With the sale of our summer collection — the KZN “Create Your Story” T-shirt and KZN Tote Bag — we were proud to support biodiversity in Switzerland.
A portion of the proceeds from each T-shirt was donated to initiatives dedicated to protecting and preserving the diverse ecosystems and wildlife of this beautiful country.
Those who wore their KZN T-shirt did so with pride, knowing they were contributing to a vital cause and helping build a more sustainable future.
Pro Natura Ticino
The KZN Hoodie San Salvatore proudly features Mount San Salvatore, one of Lugano’s most iconic symbols — a natural masterpiece of undeniable beauty ⛰️📍
Through this project, every purchase of the hoodie contributed to our donation toPro Natura Ticino, an organization dedicated to protecting the natural environment of our canton through hands-on conservation, education, communication, and environmental policy 🌱🌍
Thanks to your support, we were able to give back to the nature that inspires us every day.
Activism Against Gender-Based Violence
Last winter, our Kaizen x Birra Monte Brè collaboration and the launch of our new winter line became more than just a collection — it was a gesture of commitment and solidarity.
Through this initiative, every purchase contributed to the fight against gender-based violence.
Thanks to your support, the proceeds were donated to the campaign“16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence”, helping raise awareness and promote real change.
Protect Our Winter
With the launch of our Earth Positive collection, our goal was to give back by supporting an organization dedicated to environmental protection.
We chose to donate to Protect Our Winters, a community of athletes, activists, and businesses working together to create innovative solutions for positive change in society, business, and policy.
Specifically, Protect Our Winters supports projects aimed at minimizing CO₂ emissions and promoting sustainable practices in mountain sports — helping protect the places we love most.
Ukraine aid
During a difficult time for many, we believed that everyone could offer a small gesture to those in real need.
Deeply moved by the situation in Ukraine, we decided to take action — not just with words, but through something tangible.
We organized a collection of food, hygiene products, diapers, and other essential goods, hoping that our contribution, even if small, could bring some relief to those facing such a harsh reality.
Catena della Solidarietà e Associazione Tutela e Difesa Animali
Unlike our previous initiatives, this project marked our commitment on two fronts.
In light of the challenging times the world was facing, Kaizen chose to donate part of its proceeds to the Swiss Solidarity Foundation (Catena della Solidarietà) — an organization supporting individuals and families in Switzerland most affected by the health, social, and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the same time, Kaizen also supported the Associazione Tutela e Difesa Animali (ATDA), which provides care and a safe haven for domestic animals throughout Switzerland.
We remain deeply grateful to all the people and organizations working on the front lines for the causes we’ve chosen to stand beside in our own way.
Koala Hospital during wildfires crisis
With the sale of our second series of Kaizen bottles, we decided to donate more than 50% of our proceeds to the Koala Hospital in Port Macquarie (NSW) to support Australia during a time of devastating crisis.
It was estimated that over 480 million animals were killed in the New South Wales bushfires since September — including thousands of koalas, with many more injured and countless others left without habitat.
Following this heartbreaking news, the WWF launched an emergency appeal to support the ongoing relief efforts, and we wanted to give our community the chance to contribute directly through this donation.
Greenpeace
Through the sale of our very first Kaizen bottles, we donated part of the proceeds to Greenpeace, supporting their fight against overconsumption and plastic waste.
By purchasing a Kaizen bottle, our community not only contributed to a good cause, but also made a tangible impact in daily life — reducing the use of single-use plastic bottles.
