Honor Thy Label: Dr. Bronner's Unconventional Journey to a Clean, Green, and Ethical Supply Chain
by Gero Leson Author and David Bronner Foreword
There is, they say, no ethical consumption under capitalism, but can there be an ethical commitment to sustainability for businesses? Dr. Bronner’s Magic Soaps are notorious for their overwrought and overexcited product labels, which were written as if exclamation marks were on sale. Despite that, or because that, this king of the small print became king of big sales as well. In Honor Thy Label, author and head of special operations at Bronner's, Gero Leson, tells the inside story of how this soap became known around the country and indeed around the world, without losing their fair trade ethos. It's not every business that can stay so clean, but would you expect anything less from Dr. Bronner's?

I love my hemp ,vegan ,sweatshop free, and recycled tire sole BLACK SPOTS!!!
i hate slavery because it is cruel and heartless to treat someone with no respect . i think it's wrong because you wouldn't like it if they treated you that way and i think it's bad the way that they force people to work awfull hours and if they are so tired and don't want to then they get fired. i've been learning about slavery these past fewweeks and the fact that you only get 10 minutes to go to the toilet and £4 a for working 6am until 2am is discusting and the factthat they get money taken out becauseof rent and lunch. I HATE NIKE SLAVERY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I HATE NIKE SLAVERY I THINK ITS HORRIBLE...
WITH GLOBALISTAION I'D BE FINE WITH IT IF IT WASN'T FOR THE TERRIBLE SLAVE LABOUR!!!!
Now, you must be careful... We pick on Nike an awful lot for they're complete disregard of a living wage and basic human rights - but this doesn't mean they're the only ones. Just buying from another brand like Adidas doesn't mean that you're getting sweat-free shoes.
The best thing to do, is to seriously research where brands source their clothing and vote with your dollar -or- you can stay a consumer of Nike and make your sentiments heard; write them often, express your concern over unjust labor practices but always stress that you are, in fact, a supporter of the brand. Which is better? It's a debate that I struggle with myself but something for you to sort out yourself.
I use to use nike but now i have heard this i'm sticking with adidas!
That's sad. I am glad I don't use nike.
