FAIR TRADE INFORMATION

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO READ OUR FAIR TRADE INFORMATION BELOW TO SEE HOW THE MONEY YOU SPEND WITH SIIREN ACTUALLY RETURNS TO HELP THE HARDWORKING PEOPLE BEHIND THEM INSTEAD OF LINING FAT CATS POCKETS!!

SIIREN LTD PERSONALLY IMPORTS ALL OF THE PRODUCTS WE LIST ON EBAY, THIS WAY WE CAN ENSURE THE GIFTED PEOPLE WHO TIRELESSLY CRAFT OUR GOODS ACTUALLY GET PAID A FAIR WAGE. THIS CREATES A RELIABLE AND REGULAR CASH FLOW WHICH THEY REALLY DO DESERVE.

IM SURE MANY OF YOU WILL BE VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW THAT A LOT OF LARGE COMPANIES AND A MASSIVE PORTION OF AUCTION SITE TRADERS WHO SELL SIMILAR ITEMS TO OUR HAVE NEARLY ALWAYS HAD THEM PRODUCED FOR A VERY MINIMAL WAGE, RESULTING IN WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS SLAVE LABOUR *FACT*

THESE PEOPLE ARE EXPLOITED BY MANY AND FORCED TO MAKE CARVINGS AND CRAFTS FOR A VERY MINIMAL WAGE TO SATISTFY GREEDY MIDDLEMEN. A MINIMUM WAGE IN ENGLAND IS APPROX £5.20 PH, WE KNOW FIRST HAND THAT MANY MIDDLEMEN WILL PAY WORKERS AROUND £5.00 FOR 2 WEEKS WORK, IS THIS FAIR ?

BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO WORK FOR SO LITTLE, IT OFTEN RESULTS IN APPAULING WORK CONDITIONS NOT FIT FOR ANIMALS LET ALONE HARD WORKING DECENT PEOPLE. WE HAVE HAD FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE OF THESE SWEAT SHOPS USED BY LARGE COMPANIES AND TO BE HONEST ITS A VERY UPSETTING SITE THAT REALLY HAS MADE US CHANGE HOW WE SHOP FOR LIFE.

WITH SIIREN BUYING DIRECTLY FROM THE CRAFTSMAN WE HAVE PROVEN TO BE PAYING THEM AN AVERAGE OF 4 X MORE THAN A MIDDLEMAN WOULD.

IF WE BUY A CARVING OF A BUDDHA DIRECTLY FROM THE WOOD CARVER IN THE VILLAGE AT A COST OF £100, ALL THAT MONEY GOES IN HIS POCKET FOR TOOLS, MATERIALS, FOOD, CLOTHING AND HIS CHILDRENS EDUCATION. IF I LIKE SO MANY OTHERS SIMPLY EMAILED A WHOLESALER ASKING FOR HIM TO BUY ME A 'FAIR TRADE' BUDDHA  HE WOULD GO TO THE CARVER AND PAY HIM A MERE £25 FOR THE SAME WORK. THE CARVER HAS JUST SPENT TIME TIRELESSLY MAKING A BUDDHA ONLY TO HAVE TO SELL IT FOR VERY LITTLE MONEY. BUT HE FEELS HE HAS NO CHOICE AS HE NEEDS TO FEED HIS FAMILY. THE MIDDLEMAN NOW SELLS THE BUDDHA FOR £100 POCKETING A MASSIVE CHUNK OF PROFIT FOR VERY LITTLE WORK.

THE REALITY IS IT COSTS SIIREN EXACTLY THE SAME MONEY TO BUY OUR GOODS WHETHER WE USE A MIDDLEMAN OR NOT. WE COULD PROBABLY ARGUE THAT IT COSTS US MORE AS WE PAY TO FLY TO THESE COUNTRIES. SO THE ONLY WAY WE REALLY PROFIT IS IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THE PEOPLE WHO WORK SO HARD TO CREATE THESE WONDERFUL GOODS ARE GETTING PAID FAIRLY AND ARE GETTING A CHANCE OF A BRIGHT FUTURE.

BECAUSE OF THE ONGOING FUNDS WE HAVE PROVIDED TO THE VILLAGES WE USE, OUR CRAFTSMAN NOW WORK IN FANTASTIC CONDITIONS. WE HAVE FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE THAT MOST OF THE CARVINGS WE BUY HAVE BEEN CRAFTED IN THE CARVERS OWN TRANQUIL GARDENS. WE HAVE FINALLY WITNESSED THESE HARD WORKING PEOPLE ENJOYING WORK INSTEAD OF WORKING TO SURVIVE. ITS VERY TOUCHING.

THE SECOND PROBLEM SIIREN HAS WITNESSED IS ILLEGAL WOOD CUTTING. THIS IS A MASSIVE PROBLEM THAT IS RUINING ANIMAL HABITATS AND PEOPLES LIVES. MANY PEOPLE CHOOSE TO BUY PRODUCTS MADE FROM ILLEGAL UNLICENSED WOOD AS FOR OBVIOUS REASONS, ITS CHEAPER TO PURCHASE.   

SIIREN LTD WILL ONLY EVER PURCHASE PRODUCTS FROM PROVEN SUSTAINABLE SOURCES. ALL TREES MUST HAVE A LICENSE BEFORE IT CAN BE CUT. THIS IS POLICED WITH A REQUIRED UNIQUE STAMP AND SERIAL NUMBER WHICH ACTS AS PROOF THAT THE WOOD IS UNDER LEGAL AND ENVIROMENTAL CONTROL. THE PICTURES ABOVE SHOW US ON OUR ANNUAL TRIP TO THE LOG FACTORY MAKING SURE ALL OUR STRICT GUIDELINES ARE BEING FOLLOWED BY OUR WOOD CARVERS.

SIIREN IS ONLY A TINY PART OF A MASSIVE WORLD TRYING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. WE UNDERSTAND THAT IT IS HUMAN NATURE TO WANT TO BAG A BARGAIN, AND MOST PEOPLE SEEM TO TURN A BLIND EYE AS TO WHY AN AUCTION TRADER IS SELLING A FAIRTRADE SUSTAINABLE WOODEN BUDDHA FOR 99P !!

IT IS SIMPLY OUR MISSION TO BRING YOU WONDERFUL HANDMADE ITEMS WHILST MAKING YOU AWARE THAT THERE ARE REAL PEOPLE BEHIND THESE PRODUCTS. EACH TIME A PURCHASE IS MADE FROM SIIREN A PORTION OF YOUR MONEY REALLY IS GOING BACK INTO A POOR COMMUNITY AND MAKING A DIFFERENCE TO SO MANY LIVES.

WE URGE YOU TO BE AWARE OF FAKE SELLERS CLAIMING THAT THE PRODUCTS THEY SELL ARE FAIR TRADE OR FROM SUSTAINABLE FORESTS. THESE SELLERS BUY FROM THE RUTHLESS MIDDLE MEN WE MENTIONED ABOVE !

PLEASE BE VIGILANT WHEN BUYING FAIR TRADE GOODS ON EBAY AS 95% OF THE TIME THE GOODS THEY ARE SELLING ARE A FAR CRY FROM FAIR TRADE AND NOTHING MORE THAN A RUTHLESS SELLING TECHNIQUE TO MAKE THEM MORE APPEALING.
