FAIR TRADE BLOOMINGTON

What is fair trade?

Every fair trade purchase provides employment and supports community development for struggling artisans and producers in the developing world.  Each item is culturally representative, often times representing skills that have been passed down over many generations.

Fair trade supports development by guaranteeing suppliers and customers that fair trade products adhere to the following principles:
  • Create opportunities for economically disadvantaged artisans and producers
  • Set a fair price by artisans and producers
  • Use cash advances to secure supplies with prompt final payment
  • Build long-term relationships with artisans and producers that create economic opportunity
  • Promote gender equity
  • Ensure safe and healthy working conditions
  • Promote responsible environmental practices
