Our Mission

Creating beautifully crafted, ethically manufactured items is what drives us. We believe everyone has a role to play in building a fairer world, which is why Aksa Home Decor operates under a formal fair trade framework.

We intentionally design our daily operations to prioritise purpose, people, and planet over pure profit.

As a committed Fair Trader, we find that the 10 principles of Fair Trade serve as our daily roadmap. We build self-sustaining revenue pathways that connect talented global artisans with the Australian market, giving them the economic security to support their families. Our environmental footprint matters just as much as our social impact; that is why we continuously audit our supply chain—maintaining over 98% of incoming shipments as eco-friendly and using strictly home-compostable materials for your final deliveries.

To date, we have implemented the following initiatives:

• Switch to home-compostable packaging mailers instead of plastic AusPost mailers (AusPost mailers are usually cheaper than the eco-friendly option, but we don't wish to make a compromise here for our planet and future)
• Switch to eco-friendly, compostable packaging tape made from 90% renewable resources, such as plants and rubber.
• We encourage our suppliers to use eco-friendly packaging tape.
• At the moment, approx. 98% of the products shipped to us by our suppliers are packaged in environmentally friendly materials. The remaining 2% use plastic mailers/bags, which can be recycled at waste management facilities or drop boxes usually available in the nearest supermarket. 

We pledge to reinvest at least 50% of our profits back in the artisan communities we liaise with. This is expected to strength capacity building and workshops.

We wish to continue these endeavours and add new products to our range. We believe that trading fairer makes life better, ensuring that every beautiful handmade piece you bring into your home helps uplift humanity without costing the Earth.
