ethics : the pith

the pith
overview
in detail

Our goods are made by craft workers in areas that are poor by Western standards. We aim to bring genuine benefits to these people through our trade with them.

  Not just by giving them a fair price...
  but by building real personal connections with them.
  We check for good wages and working conditions...
  and are very sensitive to environmental impacts.
  We pass back some of our profits to aid the communities.
  We are especially keen to support traditional ways of life.
  All these aims come from our Buddhist ethical stance.
