WFTO welcomed 45 new members in 2014. Overall membership, thus, kept quite stable, which was a rather positive resukt given that the progressive implementation of the Guarantee System may force some members to leave.

By then, WFTO had also finished all preparations for the first training (pilot) for WFTO-accredited GS auditors, which would take place in early 2015.

The annual celebration of World Fair Trade Day took place on 10 May 2014 with the theme ‘Fair Trade People’ (more in section III.d. below).

After the adoption of the WFTO Fair Trade Retailer Standard4 in the 2013 AGM, two members which had already began a piloting period in 2013 signed agreements with WFTO for the launch of the national implementation of this Retailer Standard during 2014. WFTO has now approved the monitoring system of Fair Trade shops of both national platforms - AGICES (in Italy) and the Weltladen-Dachverband e.V. / German World Image: SelynExporters Shop Association (in Germany) - and allowed them to Membership of the WFTO identifies the member or- use the WFTO logo in their national retailer logo (which ganisation as a committed Fair Trade Organisation.

Many commercial businesses are involved in “fair washing”, usually with unsubstantiated claims, and it has become important for those involved in genuine Fair Trade to use the WFTO’s 10 Principles of Fair Trade as the definition of what fair trade really means.2 These principles form the basis of the WFTO Fair Trade Standard, which further reflects the values WFTO stands for.

The credibility of membership of the WFTO is based on the Guarantee System (which builds on the WFTO

WFTO also continued to embrace online technology, mostly aiming to cut down costs related to membership meetings and increase members’ participation in the inter-

nal democratic processes of WFTO. This was visible both WFTO Asia Conference, October 2014, South Korea in the use of its online community platform for members – the WFTO Network (at times also called the Ning platform) – for the discussions of several working groups, as well as in the organisation of its first-ever entirely virtual Annual General Meeting (see more on section III.d)6.

The implementation of the project Promoting Responsible Invest- ment and Commerce in Europe (PRICE Project) entered its second year in

2014. The PRICE project WFTO Pacific Conference, August 2014, USA. aims at raising public awareness and promoting education to mobilize greater financial support for actions against poverty and for fairer relations between developed and developing countries in the field of responsible investments for fair and sustainable trading activities. WFTO has been participating in the project by providing the project’s research and promotion access to WFTO’s network of Fair Trade organisations.

More specifically, WFTO’s involvement in 2014 included: attendance the project’s Steering Committee and Watchdog Committee meetings as well as to a train- ers’training (Portugal), organisation of a seminar on Fair Trade and Ethical Finance in Amsterdam (Netherlands) WFTO Europe Conference, June 2014, the Netherlands. with participants from the business sector, a project pres- entation during the WFTO-Europe regional conference, publication of articles in the WFTO newsletter and social media channels as well as redistribution of the PRICE newsletter, and the collection of case studies.

2014 WFTO Annual Report - 9 d. Voice To create a common voice that speaks out loudly for Fair Trade and trade justice – and is heard

The WFTO principles are widely recognised, and used, as the benchmark for Fair Trade practice. We leverage this to ensure our values are the defining characteristic for Fair Trade at both governmental and practical level. Advocacy is an integral part of our activity and we are able to provide a strong and credible voice for Fair Trade Organisations.

10 - 2014 WFTO Annual Report Finally, within the FTT’s process to update its International Guidelines, WFTO also supported the FTTowns ISC in the (ongoing) discussion around the potential need to revise the existing Charter of Fair Trade Principles and the related definition of a fair trade product.

Throughout the year WFTO met also with the Fair Trade Advocacy Office (FTAO) for constructive discussions around specific topics and the engagement between WFTO-FTAO. By the end of the year, the WFTO had communicated to the FTAO its clear intent to (re)take its seat in the Board of the FTAO as of 1 January 2015, following invitation by the FTAO Board.

In May 2014, the WFTO Board appointed Tadeusz In 2014, the FTAO successfully run the “Vote for Fair Makulski of the Polish Fair Trade Association as official Trade” campaign linked to the European Parliament Representative of WFTO in the Fair Trade Towns Elections and, in coordination with WFTO-Europe and International Steering Committee, to ensure even Fairtrade International members, managed to have 110 closer links. candidates committing to the Fair Trade manifesto, 50 of which are now Members of the European Parliament WFTO was present in the first annual FTT conference (MEPs).

Other (internal) advocacy and campaigning work included the revival of the Advocacy and Campaigning Committee and the approval of its new Work Plan 2014- 2015. Now including also representatives from the FTAO and the FTTowns, this Committee was involved in the discussions on the revision of the Advocacy Strategy as well as on the selection of the topic for the next WFTDays. The final decision from the WFTO Board approved a 3-year WFTDAy theme – “An agent for change” – which will then be given specific focuses each year (2015-2017).

Our online engagement to speak for Fair Trade continued throughout the year. In November, WFTO launched a revamped website with new contents and a more user-friendly functionality, including dedicated sections on the Guarantee System and Events.

Financially, WFTO had another positive year in 2014. For the first time in over 5 years, WFTO was able to close the year with positive reserves, even if only a very small one (see Table 5). Core costs remained as low as possible, and were fully covered by core income.
