Sharing to be more just, sharing to be better...
Fair Trade represents an alternative to traditional commerce and is based on cooperation between producers and
consumers. FairTrade offers producers just working conditions and treatment. This helps them to improve their
standing in life and plan for the future. For consumers, buying products that follow the Fair Trade principles is
an effective way to reduce poverty through one’s daily purchases.
When a product carries the certification stamp of FairTrade it means that the products and merchants have complied
with the FairTrade criteria. The criteria are designed to correct inequitable power relations, the instability of
the market, and the injustice of traditional commerce.
