Vested Interest Trading sources its products ethically and uses Fair Trade practices.

With mass manufacturing higher than ever, the incredibly high costs of exporting goods from Indonesia are making it harder and harder for local artisans to sustain themselves.

Exports of products such as jewelry and textiles to Western countries, which once provided a decent living for people, are now being made in China and exported at a lower price. Because of this, the livelihood, quality of life, and preservation of the Balinese culture are supported by Vested Interest Trading.

Fair Trade is a global social movement that enables producers in developing countries to achieve better working and trading conditions. Fair Trade promotes sustainable farming and improves social and environmental standards at work. Fair Trade is a movement that focuses on products that are usually exported from developing countries to developed nations.

Why is Fair Trade important for Bali?

Fair Trade's rules guarantee a living wage, offering employees opportunity for advancement and assistance in a safe working environment, engaging in environmentally sustainable practices, being open to public accountability, and building long-term trade relationships between Indonesia and the rest of the world.

Fair Trader vendors can also ensure prompt payment to their suppliers and, where possible, help producers get pre-production financing.

They choose high biodiversity areas whenever possible to develop products that don't harm the land but enhance it.
