The Fairtrade Handbook

The Fairtrade Handbook is a guide that explains how products can be certified fair trade, ensuring farmers and workers receive fair wages, work in safe conditions, and have sustainable livelihoods. It outlines standards and principles for producers, traders, and consumers to promote ethical trade practices, environmental sustainability, and community development. By adhering to these guidelines, Fairtrade helps create equitable trade relationships, empowering marginalized communities and encouraging responsible production. The handbook serves as a resource for understanding certification processes, best practices, and the impact of choosing fair trade products.
