Essential needs
Essential needs label: food, clothing, shelter and affordable prices.
Vow 3 · Vow 11 · Vow 12
Vows 3, 11 and 12 come together: nothing lacking, food for the hungry and clothing for the cold.
This label covers useful gifts and services, necessary goods at fair prices and help that leaves people free.
Who can apply for this label?
Any human creation: an object, book, music, film, game, software, website, building, place, service, event, research project, organisation, public body or one person’s work. It needs real action and a reachable responsible person; good intentions alone are not enough.
What we check
Real usefulness
Goods or services meet a need assessed with the people concerned.
Price and access
Prices and margins justified; no forced debt or dependency.
Dignity
No humiliation, proselytising, forced exchange or excessive data collection.
For every label: a clear identity and reachable person in charge, written consent, dated public evidence, fair prices and readable accounts, safety and freedom for everyone. No payment can buy a label. A serious alert triggers a new review; serious fraud means withdrawal.
No vow label has been awarded to date. The review is free.
