Congrats! Looks like a great organization you’ve got set up so far. I’m curious if you are using any third party verification methods to ensure that everything is as you say it is? I say this mainly because once you launch you’re likely to be scrutinized from many angles.
Good question, Nick.
Yes, we use FLO (Fairtrade Labeling Organization) for third party verifications of our manufacturer’s business practices. You can learn more about FLO at www.fairtrade.net.
