Fair Trade - A Movement We Can All Support
Integrity is at the core of The Dharma Door business practice. We can say with confidence that each of our producer partners meet and in some cases exceed fair trade standards.
We research the background of our artisans carefully to ensure they are paid fairly to meet their daily needs, including food, housing, clothing, education for their children and health care. Other benefits for artisans include access to micro credit, bonuses and retirement funds. Often however, it’s the social benefits of Fair Trade that can have the greatest impact such as respect within the community and personal dignity.
Earth-Friendly
Our environmental commitment is equally as important as our Fair Trade promise. During the design process, we give careful consideration to the traditional skills and the local materials available to our producer partners. We aim to source products that are made with sustainable materials such as bamboo, jute, hemp and recycled glass. Additionally, we actively seek out natural dyes, organic materials and non-toxic production methods.
When you purchase from The Dharma Door, you can be confident that your choice is both ethical and environmentally friendly.
