Fair trade is an organized social movement seeking greater equity in international trade through a market-based model built on dialogue, transparency and respect. Fairtrade Labelling Organizations (FLO) International promotes the payment of a fair price as well as social and environmental standards in activities related to the production of a wide variety of goods. Fairtrade contributes to the sustainable development of natural resources. Offering better trading conditions and securing the rights of marginalized producers and workers, the system focuses on exports from developing countries.

FLO International, with the support of interested consumers, is actively engaged in supporting workers, raising the awareness for fair payment, and campaigning for changes in the rules and practice of international trade. Fairtrade focuses on social, economic and environmental development issues and the development of new labor standards.
