Why Fair Trade?

We proudly support the fair trade movement because it promotes a higher level of humanity and respect for the human condition around the globe, as well as environmental stewardship. We look forward to one day officially joining the Fair Trade Federation to show our commitment to this important movement.

What is fair trade?

According to the Fair Trade Federation, fair trade is "an approach to business and to development based on dialogue, transparency, and respect that seeks to create greater equity in the international trading system." It encompasses 9 principles to guide businesses and consumers around the treatment of artisans and environment, as well as how the business should operate.

We live the values of respect for the human condition and equity for all. We have these brands and products in our homes. Fair trade is much more than just a job and field we work in; it is simply a way of life.
