Sterck & Company is a Fair Trade company established in 2002, although its connection with India, where its products are made, goes back more than twenty years. 

Sterck’s factory is SA8000 accredited. This is an independently audited certification that guarantees, among other things, that there is no child or indentured labour involved in the manufacture of its products.  

The company supports the local SOS Children’s Village in Kerala, paying for the upkeeping and care of at least a dozen orphaned and abandoned children.
