The emphasis of Fair Trade is to make a concerted effort to positively affect the lives of many different people from around the world by closely following these main principles:
|
| Building a ‘fair’ partnership between producers and consumers based on mutual respect and trust |
|
|
| Paying the producers a fair price for their products reflecting the true cost of materials and labour |
|
|
| Paying a fair price to give producers a fair wage and, consequently, a better overall standard of living |
|
|
| Supporting producer organisations in their social development projects - many of which provide local health and education facilities |
|
|
| Promoting the empowerment of women within their communities |
|
|
| Advising on product development to increase opportunities for accessing wider market places |
|
|
| Encouraging ongoing environmental responsibility |
|
|
| Committing to long term relationships to provide lasting stability and security |
|
|
| Campaigning to highlight the unequal system of world trade |
|
|
| Trading for justice |
