Fairtrade is an ethical standards label which provides a guarantee, via audits carried out by an independent certification body, that developing world producers have been paid a fair price, and had decent working conditions, for products carrying the Fairtrade mark.
In the UK the Fairtrade Foundation (www.fairtrade.org.uk) licenses companies to use the Fairtrade mark on products that meet the Fairtrade standards. Fairly-traded Fairly-traded refers to products that don't have Fairtrade certification but which state they have been traded in an ethical manner.WRAP Accredited Worldwide Responsible Apparel Production requires that all production is made under lawful, humane and ethical conditions with all due adherence to environmentally conscious production methods.
Regular independent monitoring by acknowledged testing authorities ensures that standards are maintained throughout the production process.
