Created in 2001, Worlstock Fair Trade aims to provide artisans from around the world with a viable market for their goods, as well as give consumers access to their high-quality, handmade products at affordable prices. By doing so, Worldstock has been able to create hundreds of jobs for artisans in small, diverse, and oftentimes destitute regions.
On average, Worldstock returns 60-70% of sales prices to the artisans, and all net profits are used to fund philanthropic projects throughout the world. By giving back, Worldstock Fair Trade has been able to make a difference in the lives of the artisans and their communities.
Worldstock Fair Trade also supports cultural sustainability. By creating a market for artisans, it encourages them to continue using traditional techniques and local resources for their products. As a result, artisans are able to continue producing goods using the same means as they have been for centuries, and traditions that may otherwise be lost are kept alive to be shared and passed down from generation to generation.
On top of providing artisans with a fair trade market for their goods, Worldstock is also devoted to helping the environment by encouraging sustainable practices and creating goods without depleting natural resources. In addition, Worldstock has partnered with Carbonfund.org to provide carbon neutral shipping.
