Our Directory
Though we no longer actively update the Fair for All ethical shopping directory, we maintain it on the site in case some find it useful. The main directory contains retailers who met all of our principles. Retailers that met some but not all of our principles are listed in our Fairly Friendly directory. We also have a third list of potentially ethical retailers that we have not evaluated at all, but were recommended by other sources as ethical brands.
