100% Fair Trade

Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world and the need for development is enormous.

We believe that the best way to contribute to the positive development of Nepal is by creating good and sustainable jobs.

From the very beginning, it has been important that all work should take place under
fair and orderly conditions and that workers should be paid a decent wage for
their work.

It was therefore with great pleasure that Gry and Sif were certified
by the World Fair Trade Organization in 2009.

Over the years, Gry and Sif have been involved
in various development projects in collaboration with local NGOs, such as
the women's organization TEWA, and DANIDA. We have also provided financial support to
including an orphanage in Nepal's capital Kathmandu, as well as to workers and their
families.

To become Fair Trade certified, we must comply with the 10 Fair Trade principles:

1. We must create opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers.

2. Our business must be transparent and accountable.

3. We must trade on Fair Trade terms.

4. We must pay a Fair Price.

5. We must ensure that child labour does not take place.

6. We must commit ourselves not to discriminate or discriminate against.

7. We must ensure good working conditions.

8. We must ensure the development and skills of our suppliers.

9. We must promote the Fair Trade message.

10. We must show respect for the environment in our production.
