Fairtrade Fortnight Be The Change

It’s been over three decades since the first Fairtrade-certified products hit supermarket shelves. Since then, we’ve not only pioneered a more equitable way of doing trade but have also become the world’s most recognised and trusted ethical label.

But our work is far from over. Get involved—because together, we can be the change to make trade fairer.

What we do

What is Fairtrade?

Fairtrade is about better prices, safe working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers.
