Meet the Fairtrade Canada team

Fairtrade Canada is part of the global Fairtrade system that encompasses Fairtrade International, our parent organization, along with regional producer networks, and other national organizations like ours in countries all over the world.

Who is Fairtrade Canada?

Fairtrade Canada is the Canadian member of Fairtrade International. We are a national, non-profit organization and independent certifier that supports, promotes and advocates for fair terms of trade for farmers and workers disadvantaged by unfair global trade structures. Fairtrade represents better prices, decent working conditions and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers. We work with farmers and workers to get a better deal so they can strengthen in their businesses and communities.

Fairtrade Canada is proud to be part of this global network that includes almost 2 million farmers and workers. The team continues to grow in numbers, but also in courage, in kindness, and in passion; striving to make a real difference for what matters to us most: people and the planet.
