In the course of doing business, we will treat our suppliers with respect and dignity and be fully aware of the adverse conditions under which suppliers may be operating.  

We shall, where possible, give preference to purchasing from families in need and those businesses operated by women supporting children or managing households under 

adverse conditions.

We shall pay a fair market price based on fair market value and avoid taking undue advantage of suppliers in dire need, with the goal of fostering a means of self-sufficiency

for the suppliers.

The purchase of goods by our customers should directly benefit families living under adverse conditions in second and third world countries.
