Shared Earth UK

1 / 3 Name: Shared Earth Product/service: When it comes to ethical gifts, you need not look any further than Shared Earth. We are one of the leading ethical retailers and wholesalers in the world, carrying the widest selection of sustainable and recycled products in the UK. We sell it all, from incense to clothes to elephant poo notebooks! Our main goal is to create a fairer, sustainable world, tackle the climate crisis and provide amazing products with a conscience. From its humble beginnings in 1986, shop founder Jeremy Piercys goals have never waivered. Travelling to India after leaving school, he became inspired to help redress the balance of wealth in the World after seeing the immense disparity firsthand. Fair Trade became the obvious answer, leading him to open up his own shop in the UK when Fair Trade was not a widely known concept. From there it has gone from strength to strength with demand for ethical products at an all time high. It’s important to us to never lose sight on why we started our ethical business nearly 40 years ago, that’s why as an importer of Fair Trade goods, we’re a member of the World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO). Being a member means that our performance is regularly monitored against the 10 principles of Fair Trade through regular audits so you can trust that when we say we pay fair prices for our products, can guarantee the artisan has been paid a good wage, that no child labour was involved, that working conditions were safe, that workers are supported and often offered perks such as education for their children, medical care, new tools and financial support, you know we’re telling the truth. If you like the sound of that, our website has a huge range of gifts and homeware. All largely handmade from sustainable sources. We sell everything from rugs, crockery, glassware, suncatchers, incense, oil burners, jewellery, scarves, wooden boxes, games, mosaic bowls, greetings cards, clothes, bamboo socks, dreamcatchers and more.. so much more.
