Fair Trade Principles: Fair Trade Federation
*Create Opportunity for artisans and farmers in the Global South who live in poverty and lack access to long term, well paying jobs.
*Develop Transparent & Accountable Relationships
with artisans and farmers, to ensure that they have long term jobs.
Fair trade buyers and producers are honest with each other and work
together to solve problems.
*Build Capacity of
farmers, artisans, and their communities. FTF members invest time and
resources to help producers build their businesses and improve their
communities.
*Promote Fair Trade by raising awareness
about fair trade, educating customers and producers, inspiring other
businesses to adopt fair trade practices.
*Pay Promptly and Fairly and
discuss prices openly and honestly, so that producers understand their
costs and earn a fair wage. FTF members also offer advance payment to
help cover the cost of production.
*Support Safe and Empowering Working Conditions
that are healthy and free of discrimination. In these workplaces,
producers and employees have a voice in the decisions that affect them
most.
*Ensure the Rights of Children by never using exploitative child labor.
*Cultivate Environmental Stewardship by
encouraging responsible use of resources and Eco-friendly means of
production. FTF members reduce, reuse, reclaim, and recycle materials
whenever possible.
*Respect Cultural Identity of
farmer and artisan communities. Fair trade products and production
methods reflect the history and traditions of artisans and farmers in
the Global South.
