Increasingly shoppers are turning more and more towards sustainably and conscientiously produced products for gifts and everyday use and online shopping is increasing in popularity.
Get Ethical is newly partnered and run by longstanding online organisation Ethical Junction. Get Ethical is one of the longest running ethical stores, originally started in 2001 by The Big Issue as an impartial portal to the world of online ethical merchandise, and now crucially featuring only Ethical Junction members’ products and services, in a bid to be the most comprehensive, ethical shopping place in the whole of cyberspace.
Easy to navigate, Get Ethical is divided into “departments”, including fashion, beauty, home, health, children’s, stationery, garden, food & drink, jewellery, gadgets and books. Top ethical companies you can buy from on the site include Arabella Miller, Beauty Naturals, Red Robot Clothing, buyOrganics, Boutiko, EcoGadgets, Ethical Babe, The Recycle Warehouse, Hatti Trading, Jungle Berry, the Chocolate Truffle Co, Energise Your Life, Monkey Drum, Chicken Bus and the Visionary Soap Company.
Says Tom Barnett of Ethical Junction, “All the vendors on the Get Ethical site are screened and regularly reviewed by Ethical Junction, meaning that buyers on the site can be assured of 100% eco-friendly, ethical purchases, whatever category they are shopping from.”
