The recent news about Traidcraft plc going into administration is deeply sad.
But now more than ever, we’re determined to keep up the fight for trade justice.
We’ve compiled some FAQs about the situation here: www.transform-trade.org/traidcraft-faqs
Timeline photosAt Fairtrade, we want people to care about human rights and the environment. 🌎
This is why we have launched the Risk Map. A tool to help make global trade safer and fairer for everyone.
The Risk Map covers the root causes behind human rights and environmental risks in commodities and countries where Fairtrade works. It’s been a collaborative effort with input from farmer cooperatives, workers and plantation management, Fairtrade staff from six continents, and external experts.
Currently the Risk Map covers coffee, cocoa, bananas, wine grapes and honey. And it will be expanded to more products in the coming months!
