The Fair Trade Federation is a community of businesses that share the deepest commitment to 360° fair trade. All members undergo rigorous screening and strive to create positive change through all of their work: socially, economically, and environmentally. FTF members work with small farmers and artisans in holistic partnerships built on trust. These relationships go beyond ensuring fair wages and safe working conditions — they empower producers to strengthen their communities and grow their businesses sustainably.
