A Generous Touch of Sass

2015 had just about started when we were sent a very exciting email by a lady who we’ve been following for a while.

A supporter and personal champion for ethical consumption and compassionate business, Sass Brown is a lady who not only talks the talk but she walks the walk. So you can imagine our joy at being featured in her first featured item post of 2015.

Thank you so much Sass your generosity means so much to us.

Until next time keep it generous.

Can taxes ever be generous?

We may have been tempted to answer no to this question that was until we read about the fair tax proposed by the Ethical Consumer and Tax Research UK.

Having joined forces to pioneer a revolutionary accreditation scheme that would reward businesses that pay a fair amount of tax the scheme is designed to;

“Encourage consumers to buy from companies that pay a fairer rate of tax thereby putting pressure on tax avoiders to instigate more socially aware tax policies and more transparent tax reporting.”

Having the mark would allow consumers to recognise businesses that operate to the scheme’s guidelines and in theory allow businesses to be more transparent and thus empower consumers to make more informed decisions when choosing who they buy from.

What do we think - a welcome step in the right direction for generous consumption or too much too soon for ethical business?

Comment below and tweet us at @gengenerous with the hashtag #generouscomsuption

Until next time keep it generous.

To find out more on the mark check out the Fair Tax Mark website.
