Fair Trade
Made in Utopia
Member of the World Fair Trade Organization
Since day one, we have seen ourselves not only as a manufacturer of feel-good products but also as advocates for socially responsible production conditions and fair trade. Together with the fair trade movement, we share a vision of greater justice, transparency, and responsibility in global trade (World Fair Trade Organization, 2009).
As a recognized partner of World Shops in Austria, South Tyrol, and Germany, we meet clear criteria – including fair working conditions, transparent processes, and responsible trading practices.
Since 2023, we have been an official member of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO).
Honest, conscious, and with full force, we are heading towards our utopia – for our employees and our partners.
High social standards
For us, fairness begins with our employees – because they are the heart of our organization.
Only together with them can we inspire people to dream and create a work environment characterized by participation and collaboration. They are our family – and Bali, where it all began, is our beloved home.
Charly, the founder of Ticket To The Moon, has therefore always seen himself as just a part of a larger whole and treats his team as equals to this day. In Bali, this also means sitting down together on the floor – as a matter of course – to discuss current topics. Involving employees in decisions is therefore not an extra for us, but a given.
In addition to flat hierarchies, it is above all the familial and personal interaction that our team values so much – whether with new ideas or in everyday life. This also includes people like Putu Agus or Made Sandi, who has been working in our production in Bali since 2000 and is now our production manager.
We want to create the right conditions for a good work environment – above all through fair pay that is significantly above the regional average, profit sharing, social security, pension benefits, and free recreational activities.
In particular, our joint excursions strengthen our togetherness and are considered something very special. This strong sense of community shapes the spirit of Ticket To The Moon – and it is precisely this that we want to pass on to our worldwide community.
Our employees are just as important to us as our Indonesian roots. That is why we also want to give something back: our employees receive a share of the profits. Through our own TTTM Foundation, we have also been able to implement several projects in the areas of local tourism, medical care, and education, and create jobs.
Fair Trade in Practice
In our work and our decision-making, we are consistently guided by the principles of Sociocracy 3.0 – and we use the same values to select our business partners.
A collaborative, preferably regional approach, as well as high product quality, are fundamental requirements for us to work together. We place particular importance on long-term partnerships characterized by a friendly relationship.
That is why we not only maintain a regular, open exchange, but also visit our external partner companies in person. Only in this way can we say with a clear conscience:
We only sell what we ourselves live and love.
OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 & free from fluorocarbons
Our parachute nylon is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified. We do not use fluorocarbons (PFAS/PFC) in the finishing of our corresponding materials.
When it comes to environmental protection, we have followed the principle of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle from the very beginning – both in Europe and in Bali. Our products are characterized by their exceptionally high quality. With this, we want to take a stand against the throwaway culture – and enable our customers to enjoy our products for a long time.
In addition to a resource-conserving way of working, we also invest specifically in the further processing of material scraps. For example, usable fabric scraps from hammock production are either processed into Moon Bags, backpacks, and other lifestyle products or recycled into new fabrics. Everything that cannot be meaningfully integrated into our cycle is fed back into the value chain by the Balinese recycling pioneer Eco-Bali.
World Shop Association (Weltladen-Dachverband)
With these standards, we are on a path together with the World Shop Association that brings us step by step closer to our utopia.
