Some rules are not meant to be broken, especially those that attempt to restore equality and dignity between peoples and the planet. We believe that regulations and effective oversight in production and trade can have a meaningful impact. We go to great lengths to ensure that the products we sell adhere to the standards set by the major certifying and regulatory bodies that oversee the organic, green, and Fair Trade/fair labor industries.
We proudly source design-conscious heirloom quality products from ethical designers and Fair Trade cooperatives in over 40 developing countries, as well as Native American enterprises, women's initiatives, family farms and unionized businesses in North America.
Mission: Playing Fair
Design | Ethics | Function
Our aim at Equita is to make ethical
living practical and accessible. To accomplish this we developed a
strict set of criteria that guides us through our product selection. It
enables us to seek out well designed, functional, environmentally sound
and fairly traded products with the confidence necessary to gain and
maintain the trust of discerning customers. In addition, we are
committed to showcasing the selection with editorial attention, ensuring
that the product and project information provided is accurate and
prominent, as well as creating a distinctive online shopping experience.
Equita is a principle-driven family business committed to pragmatic solutions that support environmental preservation and sustainable social and economic development. We fully endorse the Fair Trade principles set by the International Fair Trade Federation, in particular the establishment of equitable long-term partnerships with producer communities and projects.
Our product selection criteria on design, social and environmental responsiblity is also applied to all other areas of the company. We feel strongly that if we dare to subject the people who make the products we sell to high standards of sustainability, we in turn must make every effort to match their commitment.
We want to play a part in the movement for change.
