Fair Trade is about more than just business; it’s also a way to help empower people, particularly women, who have been historically excluded from the global economic system.

It's more than just a fair trade product: it's an expression of faith and solidarity.

Justice begins at home. Support #fairtrade and circular economy companies that offer jobs and opportunities to refugees and displaced people around the world by buying their products.

Fair Trade puts people over profits. By buying fair trade products like La Plantation, you're doing your part to help small farmers earn a better living.

Trade justice, action, and fair trade are the only way forward for our planet.

Roopa Mehta, President & Leida Ljinhout, Chief Executive @WFTO_FairTrade welcoming attendees to the 16th International Fair Trade Summit this morning.

Key message - Fair Trade needs idealism and pragmatism to bring about system change.

[World Fair Trade Organization @WFTO_FairTrade]

This Tuesday 23/08 we'll march to ask for a strong enforcement of #DueDiligence on human rights and environmental protection along supply chains. Join us at 13.30 at the Berlin Representation of the EU Commission!

@thaitribalcrafts are one of the Fair Trade Enterprises that are committed to making their products plastic-free with a fashionable twist.

While #fastfashion is something we should be wary of, switching to #shoppinglocal and #consciousfashion is easier.
