About us
About us
Two programs, one goal
Fair for Life and For Life share a common goal: to provide organizations with a framework that enables them to structure, evaluate, and gain recognition for their initiatives addressing social, environmental, or economic issues.
Fair for Life is a fair trade program based on social, environmental, and commercial requirements designed to promote fair and transparent relationships throughout supply chains.
For Life is a CSR certification program that recognizes organizations committed to implementing responsible practices in the areas of social responsibility, environmental stewardship, and business management.
A Verified Approach
Fair for Life and For Life are based on rigorous standards that enable organizations to have their initiatives recognized through a credible certification process.
Compliance with the standards’ requirements is verified through regular independent audits, conducted in accordance with recognized certification principles, notably the ISO 17065 standard.
A catalyst for action
Beyond certification, our programs serve as practical tools that enable organizations to structure and strengthen their responsibility initiatives throughout their supply chains.
The standards provide a structured framework for integrating social, environmental, and fair trade considerations into the core of organizations’ practices and for advancing these practices through a process of continuous improvement.
A Culture of Progress
The most sustainable changes stem first and foremost from the commitment of organizations.
Our programs encourage the adoption of practices that help advance human rights, working conditions, environmental protection, and fair trade within supply chains.
Designed to address the diversity of industries, regions, and on-the-ground realities, the program is constantly evolving to address the challenges of today and tomorrow.
Our difference
A different philosophy of commitment
Since their creation, our programs have placed commitment at the heart of their approach. For us, this approach is most meaningful when it is sustained over the long term and engages the various stakeholders in the sector.
Therefore, participating in one of our programs reflects a commitment to examining one’s practices and recognizing one’s role and responsibilities within the supply chain.
That is why our frameworks are designed for those who want social, environmental, and economic responsibility to be a fundamental part of how they operate.
Those who wish to commit to a process of continuous improvement and evolve their practices over time.
Those who wish to build business relationships based on trust and responsibility.
Over time
At Fair for Life, we are convinced that sustainable change is built over time, through cooperation and the involvement of the various stakeholders in the supply chain.
Because securing a supply chain requires a long-term vision, the supply contracts established under our program create a framework for collaboration between producers and the buyers who source from them, for a minimum term of three years.
An whole supply chain approach
A chain is a series of connected elements or links, forming a continuous whole. If one of these links is missing or fails, the chain is broken.
At Fair for Life, we believe that meaningful commitments are strengthened when they are shared across the supply chain. That is why our programme promotes the involvement of actors throughout the supply chain, from producers to brands.
In tune with reality on the ground
At Fair for Life, we know that there are as many supply chains as there are realities. Each context is unique and shaped by its own challenges, needs, and priorities.
We are therefore convinced that development initiatives are all the more effective when they address the needs identified locally by the people involved. That is why the beneficiaries of our program collectively decide how to use the development fund, ensuring that the actions implemented are tailored to their reality and priorities.
