PUNKU's STORY

Renato Sobrino, with the support of friends and family
members, founded PUNKU in June 2005 in Montreal,
Canada.

 
“After discovering the Fair Trade movement and
witnessing that it is truly helping many producers and
artisans in Peru, I decided to commit my entire career
to Fair Trade. Moreover, I strongly believe that Fair
Trade is a fundamental part of the complex solution of
reducing the extreme inequity in the distribution of
wealth and achieving social justice in the world.”
 
We chose “Punku” as the name of our company
because in Quechua (the language of the Incas)
“Punku” means “door”. We wanted to convey the idea
that our ultimate goal is to open “doors”.. “doors” of
hope and “doors” of opportunities for thousands and
thousands of small and marginalized groups of
producers and artisans in Latin America.
 
Since 2005, Punku has been an active player in the
Fair Trade movement in Canada and in Peru (for
more information visit the section: Punku in the
press)
 
In 2008, PUNKU became a member of the Fair Trade
Federation. The Fair Trade Federation (FTF) is an
association of businesses and organizations who are
fully committed to Fair Trade. The FTF screens the
business practices of their members . (For more
