Rainstick Trading brings in the vast majority of its goods from developing countries. The company specialises in handmade items and does not buy from large factories. 

It looks for products that can be produced without damaging the local environment and culture. Since late 2016 it has partnered with a local business, Leos Deli, collecting its usable waste, bubble wrap and other clean packaging for deliveries. 

Rainstick Trading contributes regularly to charities dedicated to improving social conditions in producer countries. 

It operates a carbon negative warehouse with 33KW solar panel capacity and also supplies the business next door with a quarter of its energy.
