Join the first united marketplace of brands who practice fair labour standards

You are rare and valuable. You are that brand owner, that business builder, that visionary designer who has enough guts and compassion to see that your suppliers are treated fairly, that their working standards are humane, their wages actually empower them to survive.

Today’s world needs you more than ever before.

The Labour Movement is a burgeoning marketplace of brands just like yours who go that extra distance. We are not afraid to challenge the status quo, to demand that commerce evolves. We know in our hearts we can no longer elevate the bottom line above all else—that maximized profit can no longer mean exploited people. 

We passionately work to demand the evolution of commerce together.

If this is a cause that moves you as much as it moves us, we need to know you. Apply to be a seller now:

Takes approximately 10 minutes.
We will never sell or share your personal information.

Why join The Labour Movement?

At The Labour Movement we are growing the largest fair trade marketplace in existence. We will connect millions of passionate shoppers to the brands that can provide the ethical standards they demand.
 
Shopping for ethically made products is a tedious and discouraging process that all-to-often ends in frustration. With your help, we are changing that.
 
Our goal is a world where not a single dollar is spent on human suffering. It’s time for commerce to evolve through a humanitarian movement.
 
As a retailer in an ever more crowded marketplace you face several important challenges that the labour movement helps you solve:

1

Problem: Associating with ethically questionable  marketplaces can compromise your brand integrity.

Solution: The Labour Movement only allows sellers who are actively providing living wages to the workers that fuel their supply, making you a part of an exclusive group who are changing the way the world does commerce.

2

Problem: The cost to acquire customers is constantly climbing.

Solution: The Labour Movement charges a dependable, flat fee to sellers. The first 100 brands to sign up receive a locked, lifetime rate of 10% + card processing fees charged per sale.

3

Problem: Finding the buyers who are motivated enough to search out ethical brands is tough.

Solution: By creating a single shopping destination where consumers can find many of the items they need, all made ethically, we can finally start to build an economy around fairness rather than exploitation.

We have an intention to see you succeed. Our job is the visibility and exposure of your brand to your ideal customers. You are the future of commerce. We will be a vehicle that promotes your growth.

Will my brand qualify to join?

Products do not have to be fair trade certified to qualify, however fair trade certifications of various kinds are considered in your application.  We understand certifications can be expensive and can require things that are not feasible for every brand today. Some can also be incomplete or insufficient. 
 
The purpose of The Labour Movement is to abolish abusive labour practices by creating a demand for ethical commerce worldwide. Any brand that is providing fair wages throughout their supply chain should be a part of The Labour Movement.
