The 10,000 poor people who keep each of us alive.

There are hundreds, possibly thousands of people in the developing world making products for us. Everything from food to mobile phones to clothes.

They may be grateful for the work, but they could also be struggling for survival. Do they have enough money to feed their kids, or take a mother to a doctor if she gets sick?

Some companies are good at looking after these people like the organisations which make Fair Trade products, but others might not be interested or care.

I even thought about building a website which helped people ‘twin’ themselves with people like this. But poor people are unlikely to have access to the internet.

If you know companies which are doing good things for people in need, why not rate them on http://gibli.com which aims to build an ethical rating for each company.

Companies with great customer service deserve to do well.

I had some great service this morning when a bunch of guys from James Car Wash in Rayleigh, Essex gave my car a great clean. It took them just 20 minutes and they only charged me £12. In the past I’ve been charged £70 for this kind of service by other companies and they left my lights on and drained my battery into the bargain.

This kind of good service deserver a rating on http://gibli.com
