Windhorse is a company run by Buddhists. We aim to bring our dealings with others into line with the fundamental Buddhist principle of not harming or obstructing the life of other living beings, which includes not degrading the environment in which others have to live. This principle finds its practical application in our dealings with suppliers, customers and the environment. We hope to be successful in this aim and that you will find us honest, friendly and straightforward to deal with.

As part of the process of building long-term relations with our suppliers, we visit them ourselves or if that is not possible, we send an independent inspector. In this way we can satisfy ourselves that the people who produce the products we buy are working under fair and decent conditions. If we are not satisfied with those conditions we work with our suppliers and try to find ways to improve them.
The profit Windhorse makes is covenanted to a registered charity called The Windhorse Trust. The money is then used to fund projects worldwide, many of them are Buddhist, but we also fund projects to help people in the communities that our suppliers belong to. Recent social projects include well digging in Kenya, funding schools in Guatemala, Bali and China, as well as helping with hurricane relief in Guatemala or earthquake relief in Java.
