About us

Fairtrade is a global grassroot movement, certification and licensing system working directly with and for the farmers in Global South and with producers all around the world. Key issues addressed are environment, climate change, child and forced labor, human and workers rights, decent livelihoods, gender equality, HREDD and SDG-s. The purpose of Fairtrade in The Baltic States is to make it easier for our consumers to choose ethical and environmentally friendly products for everyday use, to support local producers use certified raw material and businesses and organizations to find partners offering Fairtrade options. Together with Fairtrade Finland/ Reilu kauppa ry we oversee the use of Fairtrade mark, organize licensing, collaborate with partners on projects, empower businesses with their sustainability and corporate responsibility purposes and promote Fairtrade`s purpose and accomplishments. We are part of Fairtrade International, with 21 other regional Fairtrade organizations and numerous producer organizations in the south. The selection with Fairtrade mark is very wide and consists of foods, drinks, hygiene and cosmetics products, flowers, cotton products, gold and rubber products used every day.

    JOIN US IN #FAIRBRUARY FOR A MORE EQUITABLE FUTURE! 🤝 Did you know that Lidl launched its own fair trade brand Fairglobe at Lidl in Germany in 2006? We have been a Fairtrade International partner ever since. Our shared aim is to improve the living and working conditions of people within global supply chains.  That’s why we are calling it Fairbruary: We are proud to be able to offer our customers Fairtrade products all year round – and we are taking Fairbruary as an opportunity to celebrate this! Chocolate, coffee, fruit, flowers, textiles and many more products can be purchased in Fairtrade quality so that the people who grow these products for us get more for their work. With Fairtrade, they can better establish and maintain social, ecological and economic standards – for a fairer world for us all.  "At the end of the day, the message has to reach our customers – Lidl offers affordable, fair products for everyone – and if we say they are fair, then our customers can rely on that. Because sustainability is part of our quality promise", says Christoph Pohl, Executive Vice President Purchasing at Lidl International. But it doesn’t stop there! 🌎 Our commitment to ethical sourcing and fair trade principles led us to introduce our own fair trade brand, Fairglobe, in Germany back in 2006. As one of the first food retailing brands exclusively offering Fairtrade products, Fairglobe set a new standard for Lidl. Today, we're proud to say that Fairglobe products can be found in all Lidl countries.  Across our entire assortment in all Lidl countries, we offer over 800 Fairtrade-certified products such as our Way To Go chocolate. This makes us, for example, one of the most significant buyers of Fairtrade cocoa in Europe. Additionally, Lidl International has also been Fairtrade certified for the green coffee trade for over a year. 🍫 ☕ What is your favorite Fairglobe product? 👇 #fairbruary #fairtrade #fairglobe #wearelidl #lidlinternational #teamlidl

  • 🥀 Co-founder of Fairtrade, 𝐅𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐅𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨 𝐕𝐚𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐫 𝐇𝐨𝐟𝐟, has left behind a Great legacy.... With he`s determination and resilience to create change where needed and driving impact from the grassroot level to the top, never tiring to raise the voice of Producers, Fairtrade as we know it, excists. Changing from the mindset of "assisting" farmers to forming true partnerships with them, was a radical idea, but one that changed the course from aid to trade: " 𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒅𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒅𝒖𝒄𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒆𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒘𝒏𝒆𝒅 𝒎𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕, 𝒂𝒅𝒗𝒐𝒄𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒃𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒏𝒈, 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒆𝒕 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒍𝒍.

    Remembering Father Francisco Van Der Hoff - Co-Founder of Fairtrade. Yesterday we received the sad news of the passing of Father Francisco. An Icon of Change- action for good, a powerful voice of the producers, this larger than life man has broken the hearts of many in the Fairtrade global system. I had the pleasure of listening to one of Father Francisco's talks on how he and some mexican coffee farmers journeyed to Europe to negotiate better prices for farmers in the South. This success opened the door to millions of producers world over - to defy colonial trade patterns, and give choice, a voice and an equal negotiating platform for farmers by farmers. This led to better, more responsible sourcing of the world's high value high impact products. Because of him, Fairtrade exists today as global system, with an intentional approach towards producer led sustainability. In his words, " Fairtrade is a producer led and owned movement, advocating for better living, working and market access conditions for all. It is a radical, grassroot approach to negotiating for change. We as producers are partners in business, not beneficiaries, we are about trade not aid. Fairtrade is global responsibility - from farmers and workers, business to policy makers. " Thank you for your determination, resilience to creating change where it was needed, for driving impact from the grassroot level to the top, for never tiring to raise the voice of Producers. For founding Fairtrade as we know it. Father Francisco Van der Hoff has left behind a Great legacy, having lived a full and impactful life. He insipired us all to do more and do good. We celebrate his Life always. May his soul Rest in Eternal blessed Peace. CLAC Fairtrade Africa Fairtrade Network of Asia & Pacific Producers ( NAPP) Fairtrade International Xiomara J.

    📢 On 7 December, Sandra Uwera Murasa, our Global CEO - Fairtrade International, participated to Devex summit at COP28, Climate . This summit brought together visionaries, change-makers, and thought leaders from across the globe to explore the interconnected relationship between climate change and the Sustainable Development Goals. 🌎🚀🎇 This intervention was an opportunity for us to reiterate that climate action must go hand in hand with poverty eradication. 👉 Poverty must urgently be tackled as it's closely interlinked with environmental harm. This means that: ✅ Climate programmes must meet the needs of farming communities. ✅ Climate finance must be accessible. ✅ Climate finance must fund both mitigation and adaptation measures. ✅ Trade policies must protect human rights and the environment. ✅ Fair food systems are needed for food security.
