Ethiqana - Expert Impact

Arshad Khalid,

Ethiqana

Met with Emma Fox

Ethiqana is an online store founded on the principles of ethical sourcing, sustainability and fair trade in order to bring about positive social change. Our mission is simple:

• Empower artisans through fair and ethical sourcing
• Rediscover sustainable materials and reduce the use of plastics
• Provide viable, affordable and sustainable choices to consumers

As a social enterprise we work with small artisan producers that are carefully selected on the eco-friendliness of their methods and the need for creative and economic empowerment.

Emma was very engaged throughout and loved the premise of my social enterprise. Her vast experience meant that she could quickly identify some issues that I can work on. I now have a list of things which can help me in the short term but will no doubt help me develop the business further. Truly valued advice!
