A bit info about Fair Trade In our company

Tuesday, August 31, 2010

As we are based in Bangkok Thailand, we got one question that is been asked all the time; "How do you treat your workers?", "Are you a fair trade company?", "Does the workers have health care insurance?" etc...

Our Company is working 24 days a month, from 8:00 morning to 18:00 in the evening with 1 hour break on noon time.

As we believe that education is very important, we don't hire any worker that is younger then 18 years old.

All our workers are can support themselves and their family as we take care that they will get a fair salary and Health care for them and their kids. For over time, we pay our workers 150% from their regular salary.

We also take care for safety and clean working environment, and we provide safety accessories that will help to prevent accidents.

All our natural seed beads are been bought from farmers in north east of Thailand that is known as a poor area. As before no one ask to buy those seeds they just throw them away or just leave them to rot. We pay the farmers a fair price and accept every quantity that they give as and that way they have extra money to support their family as well.

We are trying to do our best to give our workers the best conditions and make them grow up with us as we hope for a better future for them as well.
