Our Decision to Stop Shipping to Israel

Last month, after careful consideration, we made the decision to cease business operations with entities based in Israel. This includes both the sale and distribution of our products, as well as the purchase of materials and services from Israeli-based companies.

This decision was not made lightly. It reflects our ethical stance regarding the ongoing situation in Gaza and the wider region. We believe that continuing to conduct business in Israel would not align with our values or our commitment to human rights and humanitarian principles.

As a company, we aim to operate in a way that reflects integrity, responsibility, and respect for human dignity. In practice, this means we avoid partnerships or transactions that might, even indirectly, support conflict, deliberate famine, or human rights abuses.

Our policy therefore extends beyond shipping restrictions. We also do not purchase raw materials from companies in Israel, nor do we use software or services developed by companies headquartered in Israel.

While our decision may not have a direct impact on those suffering in Gaza, it reflects our moral stance and represents a principled step. For us, this policy is one way to ensure our operations remain consistent with our values as an Irish company.
