We encourage all FTF members to proudly display the Fair Trade Federation Verified logo as a symbol of the high bar of fair trade practices that you and the entire FTF community have committed to.

PRINCIPLE: Fair Trade is a means to support producers' self-sustainability and access to markets. Members maintain long-term relationships based on solidarity, trust, and mutual respect. Members collaborate with producers to build capacity through proactive communication, knowledge exchange, financial and technical assistance, market information, and dialogue.They seek to share lessons learned, to share best practices, and nurture collaborative relationships with and between communities, including among producer groups.

PRINCIPLE: Fair Trade members practice using pricing frameworks based on the true cost of labor, time, materials, skill level, training, sustainable growth, and related factors. Members take steps to ensure that producers have the capacity to manage this process. Members comply with or exceed international, national, local, and, where applicable, Fair Trade Minimum standards for their employees and producers. Members seek to ensure that income is distributed equitably at all times, particularly equal pay for equal work by all. Members ensure prompt payment to all of their partners. Producers are offered access to interest-free advance payment for handmade goods, or pre-finance of agricultural harvest with favorable industry-specific terms.
