Ethical Trading Policy

Every effort is made to ensure that all the products we sell are:

People Friendly

They do not exploit people in their production and are not unfairly traded.  Many products are positively 'fair-traded' giving third-world producers a fair return and support for their communities.

Animal Friendly

They do not involve cruelty in their production or testing.

Environment Friendly

They do not cause excessive damage to the environment.  All food products in our organic section are certified as organically grown by an appropriate, legally recognized organization.

We try to operate without using paper, but where this is unavoidable we only use paper which is 100% recycled.

We will despatch your order either in it's original wholesale packaging, or in reclaimed packaging which we collect from a number of local businesses. This packaging would have been either sent to landfill or pulped for recycling. In either case, re-use of these materials is a better option for the environment. Please note, though, that the re-use of such packaging does not infer any recommendation of any goods or services advertised there upon. We would be grateful if you could similarly re-use, or failing that, recycle these materials.
