TransFair Canada: How Fair Trade Works

TransFair Canada: How Fair Trade Works ()

  „Producers and their organizations are monitored and certified by Fair Trade Labelling Organizations International (FLO). In Canada, the “Licensees” (processors) are licensed and audited by TransFair Canada to ensure that they are doing business with certified producers and that they are adhering to the standards set out by FLO. TransFair also works to promote Fair Trade Certified products at the retail and consumer level.“

TransFair Canada: Certification TransFair Canada: Certification

  „In contrast to Codes of Conduct and other social labels, FLO’s Fair Trade Certified standards are not simply a set of minimum standards for socially responsible production and trade. Fair Trade Certified standards go further: in addition to the minimum requirements that producers must meet, FLO standards guarantee a fair price, and, through process requirements, sees that the producer-run organizations invest part of the Fair Trade premiums in economic, environmental and social development. The producers and their organizations must therefore operate both transparently and democratically and are obliged to make quarterly reports to FLO. Certification of producers hinges on meeting all the FLO standards for which they are audited.“

  „The License Agreement requires companies to report their purchases, processing and sales of Fair Trade Certified products to TransFair on a quarterly basis. The agreement also describes the terms of usage of the certification logo on the licensees products. In addition, licensees are required to open their books to TransFair for periodic audits, and pay a quarterly license fee on the volume of Fair Trade Certified product sold.“
