FAIRTRADE PARTNERSHIP
Go fairtrade
It means your company, whether it’s large or small, can help improve the lives of the farmers and workers who produce the products you sell and create a sustainable supply chain. It also means your customers can see the real ethical commitment of your firm.
Independent GlobeScan research shows 9/10 consumers who recognise the FAIRTRADE Certification Mark regard it as a trusted label.
Increasingly consumers are demanding transparency in the sourcing of their food and their products. The best way to do this is through trusted independent, third party certification - and research shows that nearly nine out of 10 consumers trust Fairtrade.
Four out of five say that having an ethical label on a product showing it is sustainable increases the likelihood of them buying a product. And many consumers think the quality of Fairtrade marked goods is better than the equivalent non-labelled products. Can you afford not to carry Fairtrade certification?
