The Company Fair trade. The digital divide. These and other issues have dominated the media and the public's agenda for the past several months. It is our philosophy that transparent access to information should be available to anyone, anywhere.
Consumers deserve to know where products are made, by who, and under what conditions.
The enthusiastic response we received from customers encouraged us to broaden our reach, and directly connect artisans to U.S. businesses. We're now helping retailers meet the responsibilities and challenges of corporate citizenship in an era of globalization. Together, we are opening access to information about where products come from, who makes the products and how. Consumers can now choose to purchase products based not only on price or quality, but on the background of the product itself, allowing them to differentiate products with unknown origins from those that are created in a non-exploitive, sustainable, and socially responsible way. Our approach taps the drive of small producers seeking to better their lives by providing them with the tools, information and market access they need to participate in global commerce.
