Our Mission - Earth-Conscious was formed in 2005 with a vision to provide an alternative platform for environmentally friendly jute products made by indigenous craftsmen of Bangladesh. Through this service, we hoped to assist in improving entrepreneurial capacity of poor rural women in Bangladesh and uplifting the socio-economic condition of the distressed artisan families. Our vision is to empower the marginalised producers (e.g. women, religious minority, and disabled producers) by creating job opportunities and international market access for their products which expectantly would lead to their financial independence and help them to overcome the extreme poverty in which they live.
By offering a selection of eco-friendly products we hope to provide an opportunity for craftsmen to protect and preserve traditional techniques that may become extinct without our support.
We are certain that the basic power of consumer choice is enough to ensure that high quality ecological products thrive even within the most competitive and well-established market place. Earth-Conscious is committed to the development of products and services that further the creation of an ecologically sustainable future.
Our Responsibilities – We adhere to strict international ethical trading regulations. We expect all of our suppliers to support and uphold those beliefs. Our range of products is manufactured in Dhaka, Bangladesh the centre of the world's jute production. All Earth-Conscious Products are sustainably sourced and produced with minimum harm to the environment. Our Principles - Earth-Conscious recognises its responsibilities to workers for the conditions under which its products or services are made, and that these responsibilities extend to all workers producing products or services for Earth-Conscious whether or not they are employees of Earth-Conscious. Earth-Conscious requires its contractors, sub-contractors, principal suppliers and licensees to provide these conditions and observe these standards when producing or distributing products or components of products for Earth-Conscious.
