When will the Fair Trade production standards be established for apparel manufacturing?
There are no Fair Trade apparel production standards yet established. Counter Sourcing’s pioneering work in Bangladesh is assisting TransfairUSA and relevant stakeholders to facilitate establishment of Fair Trade apparel production standards with FLO. We are hopeful that the apparel production standards will be established by FLO and the Fair Trade Mark for apparel production will be a reality by 2007 – or sooner!
