How do you decide what counts as fair trade?
Rosette recognizes third-party fair trade organizations that review products and companies for compliance. These organizations are Fairtrade International (FLO-Cert), Small Producers Symbol (SPP), Fair Trade Federation, Fair For Life & World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO). We chose these based on their standards and relevance to the Canadian market. There are also other labels out there that are focused primarily on only one arm of the fair trade movement (such as the environment), but because they’re less comprehensive than fair trade, we don’t include them on Rosette Fair Trade.
