Our Goals

 

The Talking Prints journey is almost moving forward to it's 6th year.
Being an ethical and sustainable brand isn't the easiest journey to go through, but it sure is the most energizing and grateful work ever.
In these 6 years we came a long way, but we also failed quite some times. During those failures, it’s important to stay focused and make your goals realistic, manageable and also be flexible if things aren’t going your way.

To manage our goals the best way we can, we divided them into short- and long- term goals.
For this year we set out the following goals

                                              Short-term goals 2021
