Our commitment to a fair and inclusive marketplace
At Makelaa, we believe in building a marketplace that reflects fairness, inclusivity, and responsibility. Our Diversity & Ethical Sourcing Statement outlines our commitment to supporting diverse communities and promoting ethical business practices.
Diversity and Inclusion
- We welcome and support sellers and buyers from all backgrounds, cultures, and regions.
- Our marketplace values diversity in ownership, products, and perspectives.
- Discrimination, harassment, or exclusionary behavior is strictly prohibited.
Ethical Sourcing
- We encourage sellers to source and manufacture products responsibly, with respect for human rights, fair labor practices, and environmental sustainability.
- Products that exploit workers, involve child labor, or harm the environment are not permitted on Makelaa.
- Sellers are expected to comply with local and international trade, safety, and ethical standards.
Support for African and Global Trade
- Makelaa is committed to connecting African businesses with global markets, starting with Ghana as our pilot market.
- We aim to provide equal opportunities for small businesses, women-led enterprises, and underrepresented entrepreneurs to thrive on our platform.
Buyer Awareness
- We encourage buyers to make informed purchasing decisions by supporting ethical, sustainable, and diverse sellers.
- Products that carry certifications (e.g., FDA approval, fair-trade, organic) will be clearly identified where applicable.
