Ethical
Production
Most modern organic and natural cosmetic
companies have very specific policies regarding ethical
production. This does not however always extend to the
manufacture or harvesting of the raw ingredients used in
their products.
Avea ensures that all it suppliers assume
full social and ethical responsibility for the sourcing and
purchase of all raw ingredients supplied by third world
countries. You may recognise this policy under the more
familiar name of "Fair Trade", a term easily bandied about
by companies wishing to appeal to ethical shoppers.
Avea will also not enter into business with
companies who market products manufactured from raw
ingredients cultivated on cleared tracks of rain forest.
Where animal by-products such as Lanolin and
bees wax are used, these should be sourced from organic,
ethically managed farms with clear animal welfare policies. |
