Yes, we verify and vet all the gifts we carry to ensure they meet our rigorous standards for equity, sustainability, transparency, and exceptional craftsmanship.
Each of the small businesses, makers, and artisan collectives we partner with is assessed using an extensive application process where we collect detailed information about their products, materials, and labor practices. Our application process includes vetting sustainable sourcing of materials, verifying safe working conditions, and ensuring workers across the supply chain are paid a fair wage. Many of our products are also made in workshops or factories with third-party certifications. Each product's product details or 'Meet the Maker' section on the product page lists relevant certifications and production practices.
Made Trade pledges to provide true transparency about our ethically made goods so you can shop freely, knowing each product you gift to your employees and clients was responsibly sourced and expertly crafted with sustainable materials.
