Fairness has no borders
Certification Programmes for Fair Trade within responsible supply chains and Corporate Social Responsibility.
A world where trade is a driving force for positive and sustainable change benefiting people and their environment. The two programmes apply worldwide and multi sectorial.
Fair for Life is a certification programme for fair trade in agriculture, manufacturing and trade. It was created in 2006 by the Swiss Bio-Foundation in cooperation with the IMO Group, then taken over by the Ecocert Group in 2014 to meet a specific demand from organic farming stakeholders.
Beyond the inherent concept of fair pricing, and from the very beginning of its creation, Fair for Life has been aware of the notion of "responsible supply chains": having a long-term vision, making a sincere commitment and acting responsibly throughout the supply chain.
The label encourages a supply chain business model that aims at the
resilience of each link. Fair for Life certification is a tool that enables the
valorisation and protection of exemplary supply chains, where stakeholders have chosen to
act responsibly
by implementing good economic, social and environmental practices. By following the framework defined by Fair for Life certification, producers, processors and brand owners can
secure their sales and supplies, thanks to tools such as
long-term contracts
that include fixed prices and volumes, and by establishing a real
partnership
between them.
Today, Fair for Life brings together a community of
more than 700 certified companies
and organisations in
over 70 countries. Their commitment in Fair for Life
directly impacts 235,000 producers and workers
and generates
nearly €1 billion in certified products sales.
