Ethical Trading

Ethical Trading

At Love Parasols, we believe that good business is about more than just great products — it’s about doing the right thing for the people and communities that make our work possible. We are committed to following best practice in ethical trading and embedding responsible, fair, and sustainable practices throughout our supply chain.

Our approach to ethical trading is built on respect for human rights, transparency, and continuous improvement. We expect our suppliers, partners, and contractors to share these same values and uphold the following key principles:

  • Fair and safe working conditions – Employment should always be freely chosen. We do not tolerate forced, bonded, or involuntary labour of any kind. Safe and hygienic working conditions are a basic human right, and we work only with partners who prioritise the welfare and dignity of their workforce.

  • No child labour – We are committed to ensuring that no child is exploited in the production of our goods or services. We support fair access to education and age-appropriate employment opportunities that comply with local laws and international standards.

  • Fair pay and working hours – Workers should receive wages that meet or exceed legal and industry standards, with working hours that are reasonable and voluntarily agreed.

  • Freedom of association – We respect the right of workers to form and join trade unions and to bargain collectively, without fear of discrimination or retaliation.

  • Equal opportunities and respect – Discrimination, harassment, or abuse of any kind has no place in our operations or supply chain. We promote equality, diversity, and respect at every level of our business.

As a growing business, we recognise that building an ethical supply chain is an ongoing process. We are committed to reviewing our practices regularly, listening to our team, customers and partners, and improving wherever we can. By working in partnership with our suppliers and customers, we aim to ensure that every product we offer is made responsibly, with care for people and the planet.
