Ethical & Fair Trade

Besides using sustainable, Earth-conscious materials in our products, just as equally important are the people who make them. KINdom not only pays a fair trade premium on the labor cost of our products, but we also support advocacy & amplify efforts to get the rest of the world on board in ethical production. From working with certified & compliant factories & paying them fair wages, compensating more than minimum wage to our independent contractors, to supporting legislation for workers in the industry, here are some movements we have been involved in:

UNITED NATIONS SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Many of the UN SDGs involve humanitarian issues such as rights & equality. Ever since The Goals were established, we have been using it as a barometer to track our efforts to make the world a better place for both people and the planet. An easy guide for both corporations & consumers alike, our daily choices can be guided by these goals.

It's no coincidence that KINdom products which include indigenous materials and/or made by indigenous artisans are the ones which fulfill most of the goals. Supporting these threatened communities are one of the keystone purposes of KINdom.
