fairtrade

Sustainable Wales promotes, explains and supports fairtrade.

Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world.

• A fair and secure price to the producer Pris teg a diogel i’r cynhyrchydd

• No child labour Dim llafur plant

• Safe working conditions Amodau gwaith diogel

• Protection for the environment Amddiffyniad i’r amgylchedd

• Rights for women Hawliau i fenywod

• A social premium Premiwm cymdeithasol

The number of ethical labels is growing, but Fairtrade remains unique. While other schemes aim to ‘protect the environment’ or ‘enable companies to trace their coffee’, Fairtrade’s focus is to support farmers and workers to improve the quality of their lives and take more control over their futures.

Fairtrade issues are highlighted every year with Fairtrade Fortnight
