For artisans, MSMEs and fashion industry producers, Inclusive Trade is a curated marketplace that expertly vets every seller for sustainability and connects consumers and corporates through technology and transparency. Inclusive Trade aims to make ethical shopping simple through everyday fashion and lifestyle choices. We believe that every purchase should be linked to positive impact.

Inclusive Trade is built on Shopify as the technology partner/provider and has used custom coding to make it a multi-vendor platform. \\\\r\\\\nThrough awareness building on social media and through training of MSME artisan businesses across the fashion and textiles value chain, Inclusive Trade has woven technology and tradition together to make sustainable consumption and informed decision making a reality. \\\\r\\\\nThe initiative is headquarterd in London, Uk with a global reach connecting artisans and women lead businesses from across Africa, Asia and the Americas to mainstream consumption and market access. Inclusive Trade has already participated in global discussions at the WTO Public Forum and at the World Economic Forum (WEF) to share experience and expertise on sustainable and responsible consumption and production across the fashion value chain.

All brands and artisans are onboarded through a stringent and educational vetting process which in turn builds capacity on the key focal areas of SDG5, SD12 and SDG13. Every brand and business owner is provided with resources and access to the tools available through Inclusive Trade's learning as well as through feedback and surveys conducted. Every brand is trained to use the system to upload and onboard their businesses to be able to access global customers and to tell their story.

SDG5: \\\\r\\\\nInclusive Trade was born out of a commitment to empowering women working in fashion and textiles globally. The team behind Inclusive Trade set up non-profit organisation SPINNA in the Netherlands in 2009, and in UK in 2012, and are lifelong supporters of ensuring gender equality in all walks of economic and cultural life, encouraging and supporting women’s full and effective participation in business, leadership, and decision-making. The Inclusive Trade platform is a vehicle for ensuring that women-led businesses flourish and provide other like-minded designers, makers and entrepreneurs the opportunity to be, and connect with, role models who promote the fundamental values of gender equality as a baseline for everything that we do. \\\\r\\\\n\\\\r\\\\nSDG12: \\\\r\\\\nInclusive Trade is committed to reducing waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling and reuse. We are constantly working with our suppliers to find packaging solutions that are multifunctional and have everyday use once they have fulfilled their initial task of ferrying your purchases safely to you. As a small business we are a part of our local authority recycling scheme and are working to eliminate single-use plastic by the end of 2021. In our role as an e-commerce community leader we encourage our network of vendors, partners and suppliers to adopt sustainable practices into their business systems and to report using our Inclusive Trade Impact Self-Assessment Tool. Through our e-commerce platform, our participation in global discussions, and our presence locally, our core mandate is to educate and enable consumers to #shopbyimpact. At Inclusive Trade we work with artisans and makers from developing countries to enhance their technical product knowledge, access to market and capacity to engage directly with value-added propositions for global and local consumers.\\\\r\\\\n\\\\r\\\\nSDG13: \\\\r\\\\nInclusive Trade educates and encourages all suppliers to reduce waste in their production processes and actively promotes the creation of a circular economy.Inclusive Trade works closely with several global partners to include and build the capacity of women, youth and marginalised communities to create sustainable and environmentally-friendly supply chains.
