Fair Trade Certification
for Brands and Retailers
Manufacturing, buying and selling Fair Trade Certified goods
The Fair Trade Certified™ seal on a product signifies that it was made according to rigorous fair trade standards that promote sustainable livelihoods, safe working conditions, protection of the environment, and strong, transparent supply chains.
When businesses choose to supply Fair Trade Certified products, ranging from apparel, home goods, cocoa, coffee, produce, dairy, and seafood, they show their customers that they support positive change for the people who produce their goods.
