The Ethical Consumer Report, 2007

In this post, I link to a report on the Ethical Consumer in the UK. Although it does not specifically mention jewelry, it does provide a detailed profile about the ethical consumer which is certainly of interest to those of us in the jewelry trade focused on attracting that customer.

Special thanks for Andreas Lim for his work in this area and for forwarding me the information on this study!
