Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers – especially in the South.

Fair Trade organizations have a clear commitment to Fair Trade as the principal core of their mission, which goes beyond traditional trading. They, backed by consumers, are actively engaged in supporting producers, raising awareness, and campaigning for changes in the rules and practice of conventional international trade.

Consumo responsable
Consumer responsibility is a new concept that incorporates the ethical dimension of human consumption. It represents the other side of fair trade because fair trade will not function without the presense of conscious consumers who are willing and able to recognize the true value of the products they are consuming.
