Today, on World Labour Day, we pause to honour the strength, resilience, and dignity of workers everywhere — the true backbone of our communities, economies, and the Fairtrade movement.

At Fairtrade NAPP, we are proud to stand with our farmers, workers, and their communities across Asia and the Pacific who work tirelessly every day to produce with care, commitment, and integrity. Your labour not only feeds, clothes, and sustains the world, but also drives positive change — pushing the boundaries for fairer wages, safer working conditions, environmental stewardship, gender equality, and human rights.

Fairtrade was built on the principle that every worker deserves respect, a voice, and a fair share of the value they create. As we face the growing challenges of climate change, market volatility, and social inequalities, our commitment to protecting workers’ rights, ensuring decent livelihoods, and advancing social justice remains stronger than ever.

Today, and every day, we reaffirm our solidarity with workers. We celebrate your contributions, listen to your aspirations, and commit to continue building systems that uplift and empower you — in fields, factories, and communities across our region and beyond.

Thank you for inspiring us with your perseverance, your passion, and your unwavering commitment to a fairer world.

Happy World Labour Day 2025!

In solidarity and gratitude,
Bindu Sukumarapillai
CEO, Fairtrade NAPP
