What is Fair Trade?Fair Trade is a growing, international movement which guarantees a fair price for producers in the developing world. The prices they are paid not only cover their production costs and allow them to develop the skills and knowledge to improve their businesses, but also include a ‘social premium’ which benefits their communities and the environment, and ensures a sustainable living. Fair Trade also guarantees a fair wage for workers, decent working conditions, health and safety standards, and the security of long term contracts, as well as protecting children from enforced labour. The Fairtrade Foundation strives to ensure these better standards are realised, and award their consumer label, the FAIRTRADE Mark, to products which meet these internationally recognised standards.
