Fairtrade Foundation - UK

Fairtrade is a global movement with a strong and active presence in the UK, represented by the Fairtrade Foundation.
Fairtrade is a movement for change that works directly with businesses, consumers and campaigners to make trade deliver for farmers and workers.

The international Fairtrade system (which the Fairtrade Foundation is a part of) represents the world's largest and most recognised fair trade system. We are a global organisation working to secure a better deal for farmers and workers.

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

Our four key areas of activity include:

• Providing independent certification of the trade chain for products, and licensing use of the FAIRTRADE Mark on products as a consumer guarantee

• Help in growing demand for Fairtrade products and empowering  producers to sell to traders and retailers

• Working with our partners to support producer organisations and their networks

• Raising awareness of the need for Fairtrade in the public and the significant role  of the FAIRTRADE Mark in making trade fair
