Our commitments

We aspire to a world where producers and workers who are particularly disadvantaged – whatever the country they work in – can actively shape their future and define priorities that reflect their local realities.

A world where trading relationships are built on transparency, dialogue and long-term commitment, helping to create conditions that support fair remuneration and greater visibility for the future among producers and workers.

A world where organisations and companies are committed to establishing respectful relationships, ensuring fair working conditions and respecting the environment throughout their supply chains.

A world where consumers have a clear and transparent level of information, enabling them to make informed purchasing decisions in line with their expectations.

A world where business, through fair, ethical and respectful partnerships, is a driving force behind positive and sustainable change for people and their environment.

Our approach

To provide a framework within which each player can commit to making the principle of fairness a reality in its supply chain by :

1
Defining clear requirements applying to each actor in a supply chain in order to characterise fair trade and responsible supply chains
2
Guaranteeing effective control of these requirements, while offering a flexible approach capable of adapting to local contexts, cultures and traditions
3
Ensuring that consumers receive honest, truthful information about these requirements and the efforts being made to implement them
