A holistic, solutions-based approach
At Label STEP, we’re dedicated to not only fostering fair trade practices in the handmade carpet industry but to continuously improving the wellbeing of weavers. Through holistic, solutions-based initiatives focused on education, empowerment, and advocacy, we drive tangible change in the lives of weavers. Our initiatives are local and evolving, and are always tailored to the specific needs of the weavers and their communities.
Improving the lives of workers and weavers while building a sustainable handmade carpet industry is a complex process. Not only does it require producers who follow applicable laws and Label STEP’s Standard for fair trade, it also takes an informed workforce who can meaningfully contribute to the conversation and advancement.
