Its value chain is mostly focused on Peru from certified raw materials to packaging.

Its packaging is 100% plastic-free and bio-degradable. Logistics is based in Florida - USA.
The brand gives consumers information about how to take care of their products.
Reuben Oliver provides work to Peruvian artists collaborating with them and enhancing their talents, strengthening the community. This initiative is meant to draw awareness to where the clothing comes from and celebrating the culture from where it stems, while giving another channel for artists to develop and grow their audience.
The brand is also partnering with a record label out of Peru in the same vein and trying to unify the American and Peruvian market and "give back" by promoting the country from where so many clothing companies source from. RO just shot first video which should be released with the new collection. The record name is O-ranch.
