Fair Trade Federation Code of Practice
Friday, January 20, 2012(Fair Trade Federation)
In September 2008, the Fair Trade Federation Board unanimously
adopted nine Principles of
Fair Trade. The Principles,
as adapted from the standards of the World Fair Trade
Organization to focus on businesses operating in North
America, provide an overarching framework for members and ways
that the Federation seeks to live its
values.
Through an extensive process of
member and stakeholder engagement, the Federation has worked to define
best practices in fair trade. In September of 2009, the Fair
Trade Federation Board of Directors officially adopted the Fair Trade
Federation Code of Practice. This document describes the ways in
which businesses can embody the 9 Principles of Fair Trade in each of
their trading relationships.
