Sustainability & Fair Trade

Sustainability & Fair Trade covers websites, organisations and information resources focused on responsible business practices, fair trading conditions and sustainable supply chains. A central theme is the development of social, economic and environmental standards designed to improve conditions for producers, workers and communities. This area includes Fair Trade organisations, certification and labelling systems, sustainable production initiatives and resources addressing responsible sourcing and global supply chains.

Common topics include living incomes, working conditions, human rights, environmental protection, sustainable agriculture and efforts to distribute value more fairly throughout international trading relationships. The category provides access to organisations, projects and standards promoting more sustainable and socially responsible forms of commerce. It is relevant to consumers, businesses and other interested users seeking information about fairly traded products, credible certification systems, sustainable sourcing or the social and environmental impact of global trade.
