Fairtrade is the most recognised and trusted sustainability label working to make trade fairer for the people who grow our food.
A product with the FAIRTRADE Mark means farmers, workers and businesses have met internationally agreed standards which have been independently audited and certified.
Many of the people who grow our food aren’t paid or treated fairly for their work, making it harder for them to access basic human rights, build secure livelihoods and plan for the future.
The climate emergency is already hitting them hard. Even though they did the least to cause it. Crops are failing, extreme weather ruining harvests and plant diseases caused by the changing climate are ever more common.
Fairtrade works alongside farmers and workers to ensure they earn a fairer price, are able to invest in their communities, protect our shared environment and take action to adapt to the climate crisis that threatens their future.

Do It Fair
Around the world, the people who grow, pick, stitch and make the things we buy are facing the same challenges: unfair pay, unsafe working conditions, and a climate crisis threatening their livelihoods. Fairtrade exists to change this, and to push for the rules that make fairness the norm, not the exception.
