Our Ethics

"Ethical" shopping is a term being thrown around a lot lately. But "ethical" means different things to different people. For us at Small World Goods, "ethical" is first and foremost about people. If people at any point of a supply chain for any product aren't treated with respect and fairness, we will not carry that product. We thoroughly vet every supply chain at SWG through personal relationships and independent investigation. We work tirelessly to maintain our standard of ethics for every product offered here.

We also strive to offer only natural and environmentally safe products to protect our Mother Earth, and note materials in product descriptions. But we freely admit that our focus is people first.

If a company speaks only of their care for the earth and materials used, with no mention of the people involved along the way, it cannot be trusted that they are treating them fairly. We are not yet at a point in this world where treating people with respect can be expected of a business. This must be clearly discussed until laws are put in place to standardize ethical business practices around the world.
