ESG
Certification ensuring products were made under fair conditions including minimum prices and safe working conditions.
Fairtrade International describes Fairtrade as “the most recognised and trusted sustainability label working to make trade fairer for the people who grow our food”, where farmers, workers and businesses “have met internationally agreed Standards which have been independently audited and certified”. Two words carry the system: Standards, which are set centrally rather than by each buyer, and independently audited, which is what separates a certification from a marketing claim.
Sourced to the scheme owner’s own published description. Certification is granted by accredited certification bodies, not by this lexicon, and requirements change between versions — check the current issue before relying on any detail above. The Fairtrade Minimum Price and Fairtrade Premium are not defined on the page cited, so any figures for them in the answer above remain unsourced; Fairtrade publishes them separately by product.
