Faces of Fair Trade has established membership criteria in order to collectively describe ourselves as a group of entrepreneurs supportive of fair trade.
We describe a responsible fair trade entrepreneur as someone who:
- Can tell you a story about the artisans they support
- Knows what is considered a living wage in the artisan’s country and pays this to their artisans
- Can describe their business practices
- Is familiar with fair trade standards
- Offers additional help to these artisans.
Each of our members has committed to uphold fair trade values and to work in a fair trade business framework.
