Fair trade is a global movement comprised of a diverse network of producers, companies, consumers, advocates, and organizations prioritizing people and planet. We at Fair Trade USA™ believe that everyone wants to do what’s right — for their families, fellow global citizens, and the planet. That’s why we’re committed to making the right choices the most obvious ones. Based on the simple idea that the products bought and sold every day are connected to the livelihoods of others, fair trade is a way to make a conscious choice for a better world. A choice for Fair Trade Certified™ goods is a choice to support responsible companies, empower farmers, workers, and fishers, and protect the environment. In other words, it’s a world-changing way of approaching business. Fair Trade Certified is how we achieve our mission. It’s an award-winning, rigorous, and globally recognized sustainable sourcing certification program that improves livelihoods, protects the environment, and builds resilient, transparent supply chains. When you see a product with the Fair Trade Certified™ label, you can be sure it meets rigorous social, environmental, and economic standards.
