Our ethical buying policy

The Ethical Shop follows an ethical buying policy to ensure that our products are sourced responsibly:

Seagrass and Recycled Foil Basket

Fair Trade

Fair Trade brings immediate and sustainable improvements to the lives of producers at the sharp end of the supply chain. While the movement has its issues, it is committed to continuous reflection and improvement to go on empowering producers of the Global South through a fairer trading system.

Zaytoun Olive Oil

Organic

Organic can describe a wide range of products, from clothing to olive oil. Each industry has a specific set of strict standards of environmentally and animal friendly methods of production. The founding principles are of health, ecology, fairness and care, and these values feed through supply chains to ensure full traceability.

Circular and Co Water Bottles

Recycled

From candles to Christmas stockings, these varied products are made from recycled materials, sending less materials to landfill and encouraging creative sustainability.
