It was also the moment to bring to a close the News from Spanish CCC’s recent campaign “What lies behind Induyco’s clothing?” aimed at Spain’s principal clothing importer (see also CCC Newsletter No. 22). the CCCs On January 9, activists dressed up as the Three Wise Men delivered three gifts to the Induyco headquarters. One was a big postcard symbolising the number of signatures (over 5,500) collected during the campaign, another was the CCC code of conduct, and the third was a big bag of coal.

Edwin Zaccai (éd.), Sustainable consumption, ecology and fair trade, Londres, Routledge, 2007 Is large-scale fair trade possible? Ronan Le Velly Abstract The article presents the changes in the nature of the market relationship that are induced by the expansion of fair trade. It shows that the increase in outlets leads to challenging working with “small producers”, the payment of a “fair price” that cannot be totally disconnected from market forces, and the rising impersonality of the producer-consumer relationship. Several types of fair trade on several scales are possible. The transition from a direct chain to an intermediated chain and then to a labelled chain increase the efficiency of trade but is accompanied by less opposition to the characteristics that fair trade activists attribute to the conventional market.

  • WFTO-Europe Annual Report 2019-2020
    2019 ANNUAL REPORT 2020 CONTENTS 2 Foreword 3 Home of the European Fair Trade Enterprises 4 Our objectives 5 Members of WFTO-Europe 7 Capacity 9 Learning 11 Voice 12 Looking ahead 13 Our governance 14 Financial results 1 FOREWORD Dear readers, Last year the global WFTO family voted to revise Principle 10 to strengthen our common endeavours in acting on the climate crisis and protecting our planet. This means that we will increase our focus on the environmental aspects in our daily work. In the same spirit we co-hosted a public event with the FTAO, at our Connect & Act members’ meeting last summer, to highlight the role of mission-led business models in pursuing global social and environmental justice and the clear utility of Fair Trade for climate action. We were pleased to join hands with many like-minded movements in this important work to protect planet as well as people. Thanks to the funding from the 3-year “Trade Fair Live Fair” project funded by the EC’s DEAR fund, we have had the capacity to further strengthen our collaboration and informal alliances with other organisations, for example on a research on EU policy options for ensuring fair and sustainable textiles supply chains. Similarly, we have been engaged in promoting WFTO Global and Traidcraft Exchange's report on business models that put people and planet above profit. We also had the opportunity to present this report to other European CSOs that are key allies in our advocacy work. In this connection, we are always proud to highlight our members as prime examples of the very business models that do good on all dimensions of sustainable development.

  • What Future for Fair Trade in Scotland?
    WHAT FUTURE FOR FAIR TRADE IN SCOTLAND? An Independent review of Fair Trade Sales and Promotion in Scotland For SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT FINAL REPORT FEBRUARY 2020 Radcliffe, Pauline and Justad, Tor With associate research and facilitation from: Meteyard, M; Valerio, G; Howie, A; Fenderl, N. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ‘In November, the United Nations climate change summit in Glasgow will attract more than 30,000 people from around the world……. ‘And it will give Scotland a chance to show that we are leading by example – not just by reducing our greenhouse gas emissions but by doing so in a way that helps to build a fairer, healthier and happier society’. First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon, 2020 New Year message I. Introduction This independent Review of Fair Trade sales growth and promotion in Scotland, commissioned by the Scottish Government’s International Development (SGID) Team, is published at a time when there has never been a better opportunity for Fair Trade to re-state its relevancy to the climate change emergency through using fair and ethical trade to sustain the livelihoods and environments of the poorest communities across the globe. Figure 1.1: Graphic representation of Fair Trade, International Fair Trade Charter 2018. The International Fair Trade Charter (2018) describes Fair Trade as a movement which ‘works to transform trade in order to achieve justice, equity and sustainability for people and planet’. The ‘fairer society’ which the First Minister emphasises in her New Year message, is inextricably linked to our actions (or inaction) to tackle the climate crisis at an international level, our approach to fair and responsible trading arrangements and the way in which SG and business works with its international neighbours to tackle the injustice and human rights abuses in supply chains.
