Fair Trade is about more than just business; it’s also a way to help empower people, particularly women, who have been historically excluded from the global economic system. It's more than just a fair trade product: it's an expression of faith and solidarity.

Justice begins at home. Support #fairtrade and circular economy companies that offer jobs and opportunities to refugees and displaced people around the world by buying their products.

Fair Trade puts people over profits. By buying fair trade products like La Plantation, you're doing your part to help small farmers earn a better living. Trade justice, action, and fair trade are the only way forward for our planet.

The #FairTrade movement is leading the change because of these dedicated entrepreneurs, ethical buyers, activists, partners and supporters! They are the doers, catalysts and pioneers of innovations. SEE YOU IN CAPE TOWN 2024! Our next Summit venue! #FairTradeSummit #CapeTown

Change the chain! Because yes, EU can. ✊ Today, Berlin activists joined by international guests from the #FairTradeSummit demanded a genuine EU directive on #DueDiligence for companies to protect people & planet across supply chains. #ChangeTheChain #CorporateAccountability

Roopa Mehta, President & Leida Ljinhout, Chief Executive @WFTO_FairTrade welcoming attendees to the 16th International Fair Trade Summit this morning. Key message - Fair Trade needs idealism and pragmatism to bring about system change.

✊ #CorporateAccountability should be the norm, but it isn't. This Tuesday 23/08 we'll march to ask for a strong enforcement of #DueDiligence on human rights and environmental protection along supply chains. Join us at 13.30 at the Berlin Representation of the EU Commission!

Today we start the Fair Trade Summit in Berlin to make systemic change a reality for all value chains and communities. Join us for our political action starting at the Berlin Representation of the EU Commission at 1.30 pm. #ChangeTheChain #LetsDoItFair #FairTradeSummit
