Vested Interest Trading
Vested Interest Trading is a Fair Trade Business
Description:
Vested Interest Trading ethically sources its products and uses Fair Trade practices.
Local artisans are finding it increasingly difficult to survive with the rising cost of mass production in Indonesia.
Products like jewelry and textiles being exported to Western countries that once provided a good living for people are now being made and exported cheaper in China. Because of this, the livelihood, quality of life, and preservation of the Balinese culture are supported by Vested Interest Trading.
Fair Trade is a global social movement that enables producers in developing countries to achieve better working and trading conditions. This is done by improving social and environmental standards in the workplace as well as promoting sustainable farming. The Fair Trade movement focuses on products that are typically exported from developing countries to developed countries.
Why is Fair Trade important for Bali?
Fair Trade, especially in Bali has the primary objective to empower and support Balinese farmers and artisans. Fair Trade rules ensure that employees receive a living wage. They also provide opportunities for advancement and assistance in a safe work environment. They also encourage environmentally sustainable practices and are open to public accountability. This helps in building long-term trade relations between Indonesia and the rest.
Choosing to make purchases from Fair Trade vendors means:
You are supporting the creation of opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers. Fair Trade is a non-profit organization that promotes poverty alleviation, sustainable growth, and development for local people.
You are supporting the ongoing efforts to maintain gender equity & equal opportunity. Among Fair Trade vendors, a large emphasis is placed on ensuring that women’s work is as properly valued and rewarded as it is men’s.
You help to support the elimination of the exploitation of children and Indigenous people. Fair Trade companies always create safe and healthy working conditions for their employees.
Fair Trade products are an act of reverence and respect. Fair Trade helps producers to improve their local knowledge so that they can preserve and protect their cultural identity.
You agree to pay a fair price. This is done through dialogue and participation of local business owners. It is set to cover not only the costs of production but to enable artisans to engage in a production process that is socially just and environmentally sound.
Fair Trader vendors can also ensure prompt payment to their suppliers and, where possible, help producers get pre-production financing.
You support the preservation and use of the land for future generations. Fair Trade vendors are educated on how to manage and use their local resources sustainably. Vendors work very personally with their producers. They choose high biodiversity areas whenever possible to develop products that don’t harm the land but enhance it.
You contribute to a global conversation & revolution of equal opportunity. Fair Trade practices are ultimately in place to facilitate a cross-cultural understanding and respect between consumers and the communities of the developing world.
