What is Fairtrade?
Fairtrade does what it says on the label - it guarantees a better deal for producers in the developing world and a fair deal for all producers.
Fairtrade ensures a stable price that covers production costs and enables producers to reinvest in their business as well as proving social and environmental schemes for their wider community. Products that bear the Fairtrade logo show that the products have been officially approved to meet the international Fairtrade principles of fair trading and ethical purchasing.
The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.
Salford is committed to supporting Fairtrade and is working with partners to promote and celebrate Fairtrade.
