Fair trade explained

Fairtrade Label:
When a product carries the Fairtrade Label it means the producers and traders have met Fairtrade standards. The standards are designed to address the imbalance of power in trading relationships, unstable markets and the injustices of conventional trade. Products carrying the label are subject to third party certification so that consumers can be confident that purchase is helping to tackle poverty and empower producers.

World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO):
The WFTO is a global authority on Fair Trade. Membership of the WFTO is limited to organizations that demonstrate a 100% Fair Trade commitment and apply its 10 Principles of Fair Trade. WFTO members who are monitored against these Principles are listed in the FT100 index of world-leading Fair Trade brands, businesses and organisations. Not just the pioneers of the movement but the innovators of the market.
