• Fair Trade and Transparency: Engage in transparent, fair trade practices that support producers with fair wages, safe conditions, and equitable opportunities.
• Empowerment and Inclusion: Commit to inclusivity and gender equality, empowering marginalized communities and ensuring respectful treatment for all.
• Environmental Responsibility: Reduce waste and environmental impact, prioritizing sustainable practices that protect our planet.
• Honest Communication: Maintain honesty and clarity with consumers, offering information that supports informed and ethical purchasing.
• Respectful Community Engagement: Foster a respectful, supportive community, promoting professionalism, kindness, and a collaborative spirit, free from discrimination.
• Commitment to Improvement: Continuously evaluate and improve practices to align with fair trade values (as set out by WFTO) and positive community impact.

This Code reflects our shared dedication to fair trade and the positive influence we strive to bring to the world.
