Über uns
Fairtrade Australia & New Zealand (Fairtrade ANZ) is an independent certification body which licenses the use of the FAIRTRADE Mark on products which meet international Fairtrade standards. This independent consumer label is now recognised by 50% of Australian consumers and 76% of New Zealand consumers. Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices, Fairtrade aims to address the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives. Today, more than six million farmers, producers, workers and their families across 73 developing countries benefit from the international Fairtrade system. Worldwide, shoppers spent €7.88 billion on Fairtrade products in 2016, and an estimated €150 million was paid in Fairtrade Premium to producers in the Fairtrade system. In Australia and New Zealand, retail sales of Fairtrade Certified Products in 2016 were AU$377 million. Pacific farmers alone, earned over AU$820 thousand in Fairtrade Premium, which will be used for community and infrastructure building projects. Fairtrade ANZ was founded by international development NGOs in 2005 to support farmers and workers in developing countries to improve their lives and communities through better longer-term trading relationships. We are the AU/NZ member of Fairtrade International. www.fairtrade.com.au | www.fairtrade.org.nz

We’re proud to be one of the first Australian workplaces to be recognised by Fairtrade Australia & New Zealand as a Fairtrade Supporting Workplace. Fairtrade is a global system that connects farmers and workers, businesses, and consumers to ensure fair terms of trade with the aim of tackling poverty, and issues like modern slavery, to deliver positive outcomes for all. Through the purchase of Fairtrade products for our offices, such as SereniTEA and Jasper Coffee, we’re demonstrating our commitment to ethical business practices. Last week, we celebrated our Fairtrade Supporting Workplace status with a Fairtrade x Tony's Chocolonely pop up in our Melbourne office where delicious chocolate was enjoyed by our employees. As outlined in our Modern Slavery Statement, we remain committed to addressing the potential risks in our operations and supply chain → https://lnkd.in/gncd5W2Y #Fairtrade #Governance #ModernSlavery

Fairtrade Australia & New Zealand reposted this
Let me ask you a simple question: How many think one human can own another? Many in civilised societies would say this is an absurd question and respond with a no. Yet 50 million people worldwide are under Modern Slavery, about ten times the population of New Zealand. In my column in today's edition of The Post newspaper, I argue why governments should catch up on Modern Slavery laws. I take the case of the recent New Zealand government's regressive step of dissolving a group tasked with helping to shape a modern slavery law. https://lnkd.in/g38eNtMw
Why New Zealand must move towards a modern slavery law
