Fairtrade Labeling Organization (FLO)

The Fairtrade Labeling Organization (FLO), now part of Fairtrade International, is a global organization that certifies products meeting specific social, economic, and environmental standards aimed at supporting small-scale farmers and workers in developing countries. Products with the Fairtrade label ensure producers receive fair wages, work in safe conditions, and follow sustainable practices. Consumers can trust that purchasing Fairtrade products promotes equitable trading relationships, community development, and environmental stewardship. Overall, FLO helps create more just and sustainable global trade systems by verifying that products meet these fair trade criteria.
