Chapter 17 — The Book of Value

How does Value Village use technology?

/ Summary

For Value Village, technology is a tool that amplifies trust between people — it augments people, it does not replace them.

(As of July 2026)

Chapter 10

THE TECHNOLOGY

Technology and humanity

We do not fear technology. We do not worship it either.

Not AI. Not data. Not any invention still to come.

For us, technology is a tool that amplifies trust between people.

Technology watches over each person's health. Technology creates the right encounter. Technology takes on the dull work — so people can do what only people can: smile, be present, believe.

We will chase the pace of technology. But we will not change the question: Does it lead to human happiness?

Tools change. The question does not.
