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.
