fair trade goods
Equitably sourced products
Fair trade goods are products certified as meeting standards for ethical production—typically ensuring fair wages for workers, sustainable farming practices, and safe working conditions.
The label appears most often on coffee, chocolate, and handicrafts from developing countries: She only buys fair trade coffee.
The certification aims to give consumers confidence that their purchases support equitable treatment of producers rather than exploitative labor practices.
