FAIR TRADE OVERVIEW
By selling through Fair Trade, farmers and artisans build a better future for themselves, their families and their communities. By supporting Fair Trade, we make choices in line with our religious beliefs and affirm human dignity by promoting:
-
FAIR WAGES
- CHILDREN’S RIGHTS
- WOMEN’S RIGHTS
- THE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE
- ENVIRONMENTAL RIGHTS
- INDIGENOUS RIGHTS
