SGS Supports what Autonomie Project, Inc. is doing!
Once again we have found another great company that shares our concern in what products we purchase as consumers. Based upon the model of using Organic and Vegan Products that are produced sweatshop free the Autonomie Project has developed and successfully grown a great company that not only cares about what is used to make a product but also how that product is made.
Here is a explanation of who and what the Autonomie Project is off of their very own website:
“Autonomie Project is a new Fair Trade fashion company offeringstylish sweatshop-free & eco-friendly footwear, clothing and accessories. Launched in late 2007, the founders of Autonomie Project were inspired by the lack in the social marketplace of a truly wearable & affordable ethical clothing brand. With the strong desire to effect positive change in our world, these few good friends set off to start a small company with big dreams that aligned with the values of the growing grass-roots movement towards global sustainability”
They work exclusively with small, independent cooperatives and Fair Trade-certified facilities located in developing areas of the world where we can also allot a portion of our funds to be used for initiatives that will affect their entire community, such as building a health clinic or bringing a steady water supply to a small village.
They provide their workers with a fair wage so they can beat out sweatshops and enjoy a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. They assist them with the development, design, and marketing of their products so that their businesses may prosper and become thriving participants in a reconfigured global marketplace.
Here are a few products that we really love:

Ethletic Flip Flop
Women's Bikefish Tee
