What it is
Fairtrade International runs the Fairtrade certification scheme, certifying products against social, economic and environmental standards aimed at fairer terms for producers, with independent verification.
Why it matters for compliance
For brands making ethical-sourcing claims, Fairtrade provides a recognised, third-party-verified basis. As social and environmental due diligence rises up the EU agenda, a documented, certified sourcing claim is more defensible than an unverified one and supports the “substantiated claims” expectation.
How to use it
- Use Fairtrade certification to substantiate ethical-sourcing claims.
- Combine with supply-chain due diligence where regulations (e.g. EUDR) apply.
- Use it behind sustainability and sourcing communications.
Good to know
Certification supports a claim; where a legal due-diligence duty applies, verify it independently — certification is corroboration, not a substitute.
