About Life & Living
HAUSCO Enterprises was established in Taiwan in 1989. It later integrated its business strengths and resources to found Life & Living International Ltd., which would go on to become a leading household item OEM/ODM service provider. In 1997, Life & Living moved its HQ to Hong Kong as a first step to expanding its international reach. Following, the company set up operations centers in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and China. In 2013, Life & Living restructured to offer a full range of international supply chain and service solutions covering design, innovation, development, supply chain management, quality control, and shipping.
Through Life & Living’s core values of reliability, sincerity, professionalism, and innovation, we continually strive to uphold the spirit of “Sustain Life & Living” in all our decisions and actions. Our goal is to provide every family with a quality home and improve overall quality of life. By taking the needs of our customers and their families as our starting point, we strive to provide products and services that exceed customer expectations through continuous innovation and a commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
Starting as an OEM of household items and commissioned designs, today Life & Living offers a range of services that far exceeds the products themselves. We provide a host of comprehensive services, including market analysis, innovation in design, and sustainable material development. We strive to combine functionality, design and environmental protection to enhance brand and product value. We integrate the best in resources to provide our customers with a full range of complete solutions, assisting international brands and channels in finding their voice in a global market and helping to maintain their competitive advantages in a rapidly changing business eco-system.
Our commitment to the environment and society is reflected in Life & Living’s promotion and use of sustainable materials, our efforts to reduce carbon emissions, and our advocacy for the circular economy through the application of environmentally friendly and recycled materials — all aimed at enhancing the sustainability of our products.
In May 2025, Life & Living officially became a Certified B Corporation, marking a significant milestone in our ongoing ESG journey. This achievement reinforces our dedication to balancing environmental responsibility with business growth.
We remain aligned with the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, with a particular focus on SDG 8: “Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all” and SDG 12: “Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.” Together with our customers and suppliers, we strive to foster a more sustainable and responsible way of life.
