In a world where sustainability and social impact are top of mind of consumer consciousness, Earth Heir stands out as a beacon of ethical practice and artisanal excellence. Founded by Sasibai Kimis in Malaysia, Earth Heir began with preserving traditional crafts and empowering local artisans through fair trade practices and sustainable sourcing.

After a decade of creating sustainable social impact, it has expanded its mission with the launch of a curated marketplace. As Earth Heir embarks on this new chapter, it aims to further its vision of nurturing the sustainability and social impact ecosystem in Malaysia.

On this episode of Open For Business, we speak with Sasibai Kimis, the Founder and CEO of Earth Heir about its journey in preserving cultural heritage, supporting local artisans and driving a larger movement towards ethical consumerism and responsible business practices that prioritises people and the planet alongside profit.
