Global Seesaw
Global SeeSaw is the online shop and retail trade space for Freeset Ltd and is the UK distributor for Freeset Bags, Freeset T-Shirts, Sari Bari and Love Calcutta Arts plus other great products. At Global SeeSaw we don’t do business with ethical commitments, instead we do business because of our ethical commitment. Global SeeSaw operates in the UK as a social enterprise with the aim of creating sustainable employment for women who have been trafficked into prostitution. All profits from Global SeeSaw are re-invested into the business to create more employment and freedom worldwide. At Global SeeSaw we are committed to finding quality products that make great gifts or those must have accessories and home products. Not only do we look for contemporary designs and innovative use of recycled materials but the way the products are made is essential. Whilst many fair-trade businesses will pay fair wages and ensure child labour is not used, we look to go a step further. All our manufacturing partners are social enterprises who reinvest their products and measure success in terms of human lives changed rather than pure profit.
Ethical and Environmental Policy
Many businesses exist to provide profit for the owners and shareholders - at Global Seesaw we exist to provide freedom from exploitation for our employees. All profits are re-invested to ensure greater freedom is offered to women and their children who have been victims of human trafficking. Many businesses employ the most able and most efficient to increase profitability – at Global Seesaw we work with partners who employ those who need a job because of their vulnerability. Many businesses employ men who tend to manufacture higher quantities in one day – At Global Seesaw, we work with partners who employ women to do the work as poverty disproportionally affects women globally. Many businesses quote maximum working hours, no child labour and a safe working environment as a commitment to ethical trade – at Global Seesaw we see these as all taken as read and real ethical trade is when success is not just measured by financial profits but in the freedom from exploitation and empowerment of our work force.
