Source – a Socially Responsible Company

Source is an Israeli high-end traditional industry factory.  Located at the economically-weak city of Tirat Karmel (near Haifa) it employs over 200 people and also provides work to a fair number of Israeli companies (mostly local rubber and plastic industries). The factory spans over 6 buildings in which 90% of Source’s production takes place.

The company is a Socially Responsible Company (CSR) and it grants 5% of its profit to the local community by way of supporting youth at risk, day care, and other needs of the community. In addition to providing the 5% of profit, Yoki Gill, the owner, established a charity fund and raised millions of dollars to help the local community. He also installed solar electricity-making panels on the roof of the factory and devoted all the profits to the community. He actively participates in the community projects that the company and his fund support.

In addition, the company embraces diversity and equal employment opportunities – the company employs men and women from all races and religions – Jewish, Muslims and Christians, many of whom are immigrants to Israel from Russia and Ethiopia. The company even employs a deaf-mute person.

Source won an award for the contribution to the community in 2014. Yoki Gill says: “One can make profits without giving to the community, but one cannot give the community without making profit”. So first of all, Source manufactures and sells its products. And Source’s products are sold in 45 countries!
