Fairtrade Foundation

 

The Fairtrade Foundation is the independent non-profit organisation that licenses use of the FAIRTRADE Mark on products in the UK in accordance with internationally agreed Fairtrade standards.

Their vision is of a world in which justice and sustainable development are at the heart of trade structures and practices so that everyone, through their work, can maintain a decent and dignified livelihood and develop their full potential.

 

 

 

 

Fairtrade Fortnight 26 February - 11 March 2012

Take a Step for Fairtrade.

 It can be a simple step; like swapping your tea to Fairtrade, or a bigger step, like asking everyone in your office to do it too.

You’ll be joining thousands of others, all over the UK when you take a step for Fairtrade. Make it as inventive, daring, funny or messy as you like. Every step counts for millions of farmers, workers and their communities in developing countries who urgently need a better deal from trade.

Come back soon to make your step count; see the steps others are taking and find out where all these steps will lead.

Take a step for Fairtrade in 2012 begins with Fairtrade Fortnight from 27 February - 11 March 2012.
