So, what is fair trade?

Are you familiar with the term "fair trade" but not really sure what that means? No worries - the majority of people don't fully know exactly what all fair trade involves.

Simply put, fair trade ensures the people making your products are taken care of. It’s an approach to business based on open dialogue, transparency, and respect.

The point of fair trade is to support the makers or growers of products in developing countries who are socially and economically marginalized. These incredible human beings often face steep hurdles in finding safe, fair paying employment for their skills.

It really comes down to the mission, ethics, philosophy, and heart of a company.

In a perfect world, all businesses would operate on the values of fair trade… but they sadly don’t. And that's where your choice to shop ethically comes into play.

Choosing a fair trade company means you are ensuring people are taking care of. You are essentially saying to the world "How it's made MATTERS!"
