Who determines Fair Trade standards?
Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO) establishes Fair Trade standards using a multi-stakeholder process involving producers, workers, mission-based companies, conventional traders, Labeling Initiatives (like TransFair USA), and independent consultants specializing in Fair Trade and labor issues. This process ensures that a broad range of viewpoints is considered in setting and reviewing Fair Trade standards. FLO sets standards in accordance with the requirements of the ISEAL Code of Good Practice in standards setting. To read the complete standards for all Fair Trade products and to learn more about the process by which they are created, please visit FLO’s website.
