One for OneWhy work at TOMS? The answer is simple - to improve lives through business. Whether you're looking for meaning in your work or you want to help those in need, our promise to our employees is the ability to give back through their work. Working at TOMS will provide you with the opportunity to give back and thrive. If you're not familiar with TOMS, our business philosophy is rooted in the concept of Giving. It all started in 2006 when Blake Mycoskie befriended children in a village in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a new pair of shoes given to a child in need. Realizing that One for One® could serve other global needs, TOMS has since launched other products including eyewear, coffee bags and backpacks. As with TOMS, giving back will always help every person in need. Since our founding, One for One® has helped more than 750,000 children around the world by providing over 500,000 pairs of shoes and safe water.
