oriri foundation

A movement bigger than us.

At oriri, we believe that food has the power to connect, inspire, and heal - not just people, but the planet. The oriri foundation exists to turn that belief into action. Our mission is simple: to reinvest in the communities, people, and ecosystems that make gastronomy possible. Through a unique steward-ownership model, the profits generated by the oriri platform are reinvested into the foundation, ensuring that growth isn’t just measured in revenue - but in impact.

Profit with purpose. Growth with responsibility.

oriri was built to be mission-led from day one. That’s why we follow a steward-ownership model - where control stays with mission-aligned stewards, and profits are reinvested into the oriri foundation to create a sustainable, ethical, and inclusive food ecosystem.

What this means:

No profit maximisation for shareholders.

All profits flow into the oriri foundation, funding initiatives that support sustainable gastronomy, food education, and community-led projects.

A self-sustaining ecosystem where everyone benefits - from farmers and chefs to foodies and local communities.

The beauty of the oriri foundation is its circular impact model: You use the oriri platform - discovering stories, connecting with businesses, and supporting sustainable gastronomy. The platform grows - and so do its profits which flow into the oriri foundation to fund projects that strengthen the food ecosystem. Communities thrive - and the cycle continues. Together, we’re building a system where every connection, every story, and every meal contributes to something bigger.

A movement that is  bigger than us.

oriri isn’t just a platform - it’s a collective effort to reshape how we connect with food, people, and the planet. Through the oriri foundation, we’re investing in a future where food is more sustainable, communities are stronger, and every story has a place at the table. Together, we can change the world through our love of food.
