Find a responsible supplier
Are you a trader, distributor or a brand?
Do you support the principles of fair trade and want to commit to sourcing with a programme that reflects your values?
Your sourcing choices count. You can help to strengthen the progress of fairness in value chains. Fair for Life is a vast network of certified actors with whom you can carry out your sourcing operations. Whether you’re looking for certified products for your distribution channels or sustainable raw materials for the design of your products, you can join the community of actors committed to ethical and fair trade.
Why choose Fair for Life sourcing?
Committing to Fair for Life sourcing is much more than a business choice:
it’s a responsible and sustainable approach, in line with the growing expectations of your customers, partners and consumers in terms of ethics, traceability and sustainability.
Here are four good reasons to turn to Fair for Life:
- A strong commitment to fair trade: Offer fair and dignified conditions to producers, while reinforcing a more stable and ethical supply chain.
- A guarantee of traceability and transparency: Offer your customers the guarantee of rigorous control combined with a robust certification system, ensuring total traceability and transparency on origins and practices within your supply chain.
- Real added value for your brand: Clearly demonstrate your commitments and reinforce your image as a responsible company, in response to the growing demand for sustainable products.
- A concrete lever for your CSR and SDG objectives: Contribute actively to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and demonstrate a positive impact on social, economic and environmental levels.
How do you communicate your Fair for Life commitments?
The Fair for Life standard authorizes and encourages the communication and promotion of your commitments.
The Fair for Life label guarantees that products are produced and marketed according to fair trade principles. It also ensures complete traceability, with strict separation of certified and non-certified products, from the field to the store shelf.
Every player in the supply chain shares the commitments of a fair trade model, and is actively involved in the Fair for Life certification process.
Committed supply chains are thus able to showcase more sustainable social, environmental and commercial practices, with complete transparency.
