Why become a Fair Trade Faith Group?
The Fair Trade Faith Group Program encourages people of all faiths to engage with a global movement that gives 1.66 million farmers and workers the opportunity to build better and more sustainable lives.
Seeking justice in the world is a fundamental tenet of all faiths. As a Fair Trade Faith Group, you and your fellow worshippers have the opportunity to pursue justice for producers in the Global South, and to exemplify ethical leadership through a movement that reflects your values.
Requirements
The Fair Trade Faith Group designation is awarded to faith groups that meet three key requirements. 1. A steering committee composed of a combination of members and leaders of the faith group that will meet regularly. 2. There must be coffee, tea, and a third Fairtrade certified product available for worshippers and visitors. 3. There must be promotional and informational material available at the place of worship to create visibility and awareness of Fairtrade.
