Selling ‘ethically’
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009
TENFOUR is reading Do good lives have to cost the earth? by Andrew Simms and Joe Smith.
Speaking about the growth in ethical products, essayists David Boyle writes:
“The Fairtrade and ethical sector in the UK, which began so small a generation ago, now stands at £29 billion a year - that’s bigger than alcohol or tobacco sales.”
Blimey. No wonder big businesses have been taking it all a bit more seriously of late. But, does big money and ethical selling mix well?
Nice idea from our local coffee cafe.
