5 reasons to choose Fairtrade products

Where was it made? Was the worker paid fairly or even paid at all? Who made my clothes? Was there child labor involved during the production of the product? There are so many questions that can go unanswered. Nonetheless, there are certification seals you can look out for to make sure the product’s supply chain is ethical, transparent and traceable.

Certifiers each have their own standards. These standards vary slightly, but essentially require that:

1. Workers receive a Fair Trade minimum wage
2. Environmental sustainability is upheld
3. Safe working conditions are provided and there is no forced or child labor
4. Premiums are given to producers based on the product they create and these premiums go to a communal fund to be used for development projects
5. The supply chain is transparent to consumers
