Fair Trade is a system of certification that aims to ensure a set of standards are met in the production and supply of a product or ingredient. For farmers and workers, Fair Trade means workers’ rights, safer working conditions and fairer pay. For shoppers it means high quality, ethically produced products.

When you purchase Fair Trade products, you're contributing to higher global standards for people and the planet. With every purchase, you help create a world where producers can treat our global family ethically while offering sustainable products. Fair Trade certification requires a minimum price for products.

Fair trade is an arrangement designed to help producers in growing countries achieve sustainable and equitable trade relationships. The Fair Trade movement combines the payment of higher prices to exporters with improved social and environmental standards. The movement focuses in particular on commodities, or products that are typically exported from developing countries to developed countries, but is also used in domestic markets (e.g., Brazil, the United Kingdom, and Bangladesh), most notably for handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, wine, sugar, fruit, flowers, and gold.
