Since its launch in September 2013, Soma’s incredible success story and meaningful
giveback mission has created an indelible legacy for the brand. By incorporating
cause, design, convenience and sustainability, the world’s first 100% [sustainable](https://greenlivingguy.com/2012/01/ultra-sustainable-zhome-becomes-the-first-community-of-watersense-labeled-new-homes-in-the-nation/)

Through Soma’s partnership with charity: water, they have helped launch water projects
in 5 different countries and within their first year of business, Soma was able 
to provide clean drinking water for over 3K people. They hope to meet their goal
of donating clean drinking water to one million people in need around the world 
including countries such as Ethiopia, India and Cambodia.

The “Made to Matter” program is an exciting step in Soma’s brand story and signifies
the company’s commitment to making the world a better place. It’s important to Soma
to not only provide clean drinking solutions but also to educate consumers and companies
alike to live consciously and become more socially responsible. Much like its colleagues
in the “Made to Matter” program, Soma is proof that dedication to sustainability
and charitable initiatives goes a long way, leading to a better tomorrow.

CEO and founder of Soma, Mike Del Ponte, is thrilled to finally bring Soma products
to Target through this platorm.
