Fair trade is a collaborative approach to business and development that prioritizes dialogue, transparency, and mutual respect. It seeks to rebalance the global trading system, promoting greater equity and justice for all. Through partnerships, fair traders work in solidarity with small-scale farmers, artisans, marginalized communities, consumers, and enterprises worldwide, supporting access to markets, sustainable livelihoods, shared expertise, and high-quality, unique products
The Fair Trade Federation (FTF) Code of Practice and Fair Trade Principles are a collective commitment to creating a more just, equitable, and sustainable world. By embracing these principles, FTF members foster collaborative relationships, mutual support, and shared prosperity. We recognize the inherent value and dignity of all individuals and communities, and we work to dismantle systems of oppression and inequality. Together, we promote fair trade practices, equitable payment, and safe working conditions. We honor the rights and agency of children, communities, and the environment. By working in solidarity, we can create a world where trade is a force for good, and where all people can thrive with dignity and respect.
