ethical trade initiatives

Ethical trade initiatives are efforts by companies and organizations to ensure that products are made under fair and responsible conditions. This includes fair wages, safe working environments, and respecting workers’ rights, often in developing countries. These initiatives aim to prevent exploitation, child labor, and environmental damage. By choosing certified products or supporting companies committed to ethical practices, consumers can help promote more equitable and sustainable supply chains. Ultimately, ethical trade seeks to balance economic development with social and environmental responsibility, fostering a fairer global marketplace.
