Chair, Fair Trade Association of ANZ

Nimmity is Chair of the Executive Committee for the Fair Trade Association of ANZ, and is passionate about the Fair Trade movement and social enterprise. Nimmity has worked across international markets for 20+ years in countries such as Africa, Middle East, Europe including Russia and Eastern Europe, Scandanavia, Asia and the Americas. When travelling Nimmity wanted to do more to improve the lives of the so many people she saw in her travels that were living in very poor conditions and difficult circumstances. On return to Australia in 2008 after living overseas, Nimmity became involved in the Fair Trade movement. Nimmity feels strongly that business should be supportive and positive for the people involved and that Fair Trade practices are a great way to ensure that happens.
