Five facts about Fair Trade…
💚 Fair Trade is about people, not just products. It helps farmers and workers earn fairer prices, work in safer conditions, and invest in their communities
💚Many Fair Trade producers use farming methods that protect soil, water, and wildlife while reducing harmful chemicals.
💚 A Fair Trade Premium is paid on top of the selling price. Communities choose how to spend it, often on schools, healthcare, clean water, or farming improvements.
💚 Fair Trade encourages equal opportunities, supports women’s leadership, and helps create more inclusive workplaces. Fair Trade Standards prohibit exploitative child labour and require producers to protect children’s rights and wellbeing.
💚 It’s not just coffee and chocolate, you can also find Fair Trade clothing, homeware, jewellery, greetings cards, gifts, beauty products, tea, toys, and much more.
Choosing Fair Trade helps support fairer livelihoods, stronger communities, and a more sustainable future.
