Here at Danaqa we are delighted to become a member of BAFTS, the British Association of Fair Trade Shops and Suppliers.
The ethical values of the Fair Trade movement and our own are very closely aligned. The 10 maxims of the Fair Trade world are all about respect for people and the environment, fair and safe work practices, no child labour, gender neutrality and fair prices at every link in the supply chain so everyone can get by.
Many of our suppliers are members of the WFTO (World Fair Trade Organisation) and this includes Selyn, Sabahar, Shared Earth and Elecosy. Indeed, BAFTS is itself a member of the WFTO.
We will continue to work with people aiming to join WFTO in the future and other, often small, producers who would struggle to achieve accreditation but who share similar values and produce lovely things of cultural empathy and delight..
Onward…………………….!
