At 4Soca Inc., we believe that true peace and purpose stem from focusing on our own journeys and responsibilities. This principle, rooted deeply in Biblical wisdom, aligns perfectly with our mission and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Biblical Wisdom on Minding Your Own Business

In 1 Thessalonians 4:10-11, we find a powerful reminder: "But we urge you, brethren, to excel still more, and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you." (NASB)

This passage encourages us to focus on our personal growth and responsibilities. It speaks to the importance of leading a quiet, productive life, minding our own affairs, and working diligently. At 4Soca Inc., we strive to embody this wisdom in all our endeavours.

Aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Our commitment to sustainability and positive change aligns with several UN SDGs. Here’s how:

SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth

By promoting the principle of working with our hands and attending to our own business, we support the goal of fostering sustainable economic growth and decent work for all. We encourage entrepreneurship and creativity, providing opportunities for individuals to thrive in their respective fields.

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

Leading a quiet life and focusing on our own business often means adopting more sustainable and responsible practices. We advocate for mindful consumption and efficient production methods that reduce waste and environmental impact.

SDG 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions

Embracing a life of peace and purpose through personal responsibility contributes to societal stability and justice. By focusing on our roles and improving ourselves, we contribute to our communities' broader peace and integrity.
