NOBUNTO harnesses the creativity of African artisans, nurtures their talents and develops the market for their inspirational designs by the use of traditional artisanal skills, combining high quality materials with Fair Trade working practices.
Here you will find our latest Fair Trade Policy 2023 >>>
The rights of the artisans and their financial empowerment are core to our business in accordance with the 10 Principles of Fair Trade of the WFTO in relation to Dialogue, Transparency, Respect and Sustainability.
We strive, in a region with a high unemployment rate to alleviate poverty and develop a team that is not only economically successful but one that is socially responsible, ethical, and sustainable and NOBUNTO guarantees a FAIR income of at least 20% above the minimum wage for its artisans.
On the initiative of a European partner, we were over 4 days assessed by an EFTA member. The EFTA (European Fair Trade Association) is an association of nine Fair Trade importers in eight European countries. Through this assessment, many of our efforts and experiences have been positively confirmed.
Over the last years we were regularly audited by accredited FAIR TRADE auditors from several organisations.
NOBUNTO is sensitive and responsible regarding our environment. Wherever possible, we make use of recycling, use sustainable resources and make environmentally conscious decisions.
