The company currently has three full time employees, including yourself as the CEO. There is one person (software developer) who writes software based on specifications provided by you. There is one person (testing and support) whose job it is to test new software and to help customers find solutions to problems they may run into with the software product. You have determined that you can leverage your existing code to create a new product which will result in a significant increase in sales. In order to capitalize on this, you will need to expand software development, testing, and customer support.

Yet the main issue is consumer concerns with the ethical consumption, green consumption in voluntary simplicity. IN 1999 Shaw and Clarke discovered that consumers who are looking for fair trade products have similarities in their ethical concerns. This opened a whole new perspective when it comes to fair trade.
