Fair World Project
Non-profit OrganizationsOregon, United States2-10 Employees
Fair World Project (FWP) educates and advocates for a just global economy where: people are treated fairly with dignity; the environment is respected and nourished; commerce fosters sustainable livelihoods and communities in a global society based on cooperation and solidarity; fair market opportunities and fair government and trade policy defend, and support the contributions of farmers, workers, and artisans to our global society; marketing claims have integrity and promote throughout entire supply chains, and support dedicated brands that put people before profits.
We exist for the following reasons:
-Conscious consumers armed with informed purchasing power can create positive change and promote economic justice, sustainable development and meaningful exchange between the Global South and North
-Family farmers and farm workers in North America and Europe are often confronted with unfair volatile prices, wages and working conditions like their counterparts in the Global South; we need to bring fair trade criteria home with “Domestic Fair Trade”
-The Organic movement, with the advent of federal regulations, has lost sight of the social criteria of fair prices, wages and working conditions.
-Existing certifiers and membership organizations vary in their criteria and philosophy for the qualification of products and brands for designation as “fair trade”. FWP will work to keep the term ‘fair trade’ from being abused and diluted.
-FWP cuts through politics in the world of fair trade in order to catalyze the rapid expansion of the universe of ‘fair trade’ products, in particular promoting certification to rigorous standards that give consideration to the local context of a project.
