Support Fair Trade

Because everyone has a role to play in building a fairer world

How do I get involved?

Fair trade is more than just shopping choices — it’s a global movement powered by people like you.

Unlike Fairtrade (the certification you’ll see on products like coffee or chocolate), fair trade recognises businesses selling artisan-made and manufactured goods that follow the 10 Principles of Fair Trade.

By supporting fair trade — whether you’re a business, a community group or an individual — you back businesses and communities committed to making trade fairer at every step of the supply chain, and help create real change in the lives of producers worldwide.

Getting involved is easy:

  • Follow our social pages 
  • Like, comment on, and share our social media posts
  • Snap and share an image of a fair trade product you’ve bought
  • Spread the fair trade message with your friends and networks
  • Host a fair trade morning tea at work, school or in your community
  • Look for Fairtrade-certified products at your local supermarket
  • Organise a shopping trip to support Fair Traders of Australia
