WHY WE SOURCED THIS SUPPLIER
- AURA QUE works closely with small producer groups that are WFTO (World Fair Trade Organisation) members to ensure healthy and safe work environments and payment of living wages.
- Workers, usually women, are able to base themselves at their own homes, thus enabling them to not only work but also be around their families.
- The company aims to carbon offset all its air miles in order to reduce its carbon footprint.
- Manufacturing uses minimal machinery, for example, most of the sewing machines rely on motion foot pedals without using energy supplies
- Wastage is reduced by reusing and recycling as much as possible, both in the office and the workshops.
- All paper correspondence is printed onto recycled FSC-certified paper. Most of the materials used are sourced locally, not only to promote traditional skills but also to reduce the transport of materials to manufacture.
