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.“
