The Natural Shop is ethically motivated
in all matters of principle and conduct.
We are 100% committed to ethical trading, sourcing
only products that are of benefit to people, animals,
and the environment, and which come from socially
and environmentally responsible companies.
As a minimum standard, manufacturers and suppliers
must demonstrate integrity, fairness and openness
in their business.
In addition, we will not stock products from companies
that use child or sweatshop labour, or contravene
human rights within the work place. Safe, non-discriminatory,
fairly remunerated working conditions and practices
must be provided for all employees.
The Natural Shop aims to contribute to consumer
education on organic and eco-friendly issues, so that
people are empowered to make informed choices about
their health and lifestyle. As well as our own articles
and information, we provide links to other useful
websites and sources.
We participate in a number of forums and organisations
where natural, organic products and environmental
issues are debated and highlighted.
We try to use local services whenever possible -
like greenhousegraphics.co.uk
We will continually strive to improve our collection
and set ethical targets for The Natural Shop. As stated
in our Environmental Policy, we will aim for all our
products to be 100% natural and for more to be certfied
organic. Additionally, we aim to source a range of
Fair Trade products.
The Natural Shop will donate a percentage of its
profits to ethical organisations after the first year
of trading, with the added intention of offering some
voluntary work to local environmental projects.
