Ethical Purchasing

Ethical purchasing is the practice of considering worker dignity, sourcing, environmental impact, and accountability when buying goods.

Overview

Ethical purchasing is not about perfection. It is about asking better questions, reducing harm, and supporting models that value people.

Key points

No consumer can research everything alone.

Good alternatives should be transparent about tradeoffs and limitations.

Ethical purchasing works best alongside advocacy, education, and donor support.
