WFTO Fair Trade Model
The World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) constantly strives for innovative ways to make Fair Trade work for all producers, especially the economically marginalized producers in the South. The diversity of producers engaged in various products and production processes demands a robust Fair Trade system that gives them greater market recognition and credibility through an international guarantee system and brand.
Importers, wholesalers and retailers, too, benefit from our model. Our Guarantee System is a dynamic tool designed for all types of trading organizations. Businesses gain added-value to their brands and organization while helping realize the goals of Fair Trade.
