Governance

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $91,105 spent. ETHICAL TRADING COMPANY IS WORKING TO END HUMAN TRAFFICKING. WE DO THIS BY IMPORTING, MARKETING, AND SELLING PRODUCTS FROM SUPPLIERS AND ORGANIZATIONS THAT CREATE JOBS AS A WAY TO PREVENT HUMAN TRAFFICKING. WE BELIEVE THAT BY BRINGING SUSTAINABLE JOBS AND INCOME INTO VILLAGES AND TOWNS WHERE WOMEN AND GIRLS ARE MOST AT RISK WE WILL BE ABLE TO END THE CYCLE OF POVERTY AND TRAFFICKING ONCE AND FOR ALL. WE SPECIFICIALLY WORK WITH SUPPLIERS WHO NOT ONLY PROVIDE MONETARY SUPPORT BUT ALSO HELP WITH NON-FINANCIAL NEEDS LIKE TRAINING, CHILD EDUCATION, RETIREMENT, AND CHILD CARE. WE THINK A HOLISTIC APPROACH IS KEY TO KEEPING THESE WOMAN AND FUTURE GENERATIONS FROM BEING TRAFFICKED. OVER THE PAST FOUR YEARS WE HAVE REALIZED THAT THE NEEDS OF THESE WOMEN AND GIRLS IS MUCH GREATER THAN WE ANTICIPATED. TO THAT END WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT OUR CURRENT SUPPLIERS BUT WOULD LIKE TO ADD MORE, DOING SO EXPANDS OUR REACH AND MAGNIFIES OUR IMPACT.
