What is WFTO?
The World Fair Trade Organization has been working since 1989 to provide economic opportunity for entrepreneurs, artisans, farmers and innovators in 70 countries around the world.
WFTO members are committed to respecting the environment by sourcing local, organic and recycled materials, and reducing energy use or using renewable energy where possible.
While the WFTO sets high business standards in 10 important areas, one of the most notable being a local living-wage; ensuring that, in no more than 48 hours of work per week, a worker receives enough income to cover the basics: food, water, housing, education, health care, transportation, clothing, plus some extra to save for emergencies, house repairs or life events.
