A Fairtrade Town is a town, city, village, county, zone, island or borough that has made a commitment to supporting Fairtrade and using products with the FAIRTRADE Mark.


TO BECOME A FAIRTRADE TOWN FIVE GOALS MUST BE ACHIEVED
  • The local council must pass a resolution supporting Fairtrade, and serve Fairtrade coffee and tea at its meetings and in offices and canteens.
  • A range of Fairtrade products must be readily available in the area’s shops and served in local cafés and catering establishments.
  • Fairtrade products must be used by a number of local work places educational establishments, faith communities and other community organisations.
  • Attract media coverage and organise events to gain popular support for the campaign.
  • A local Fairtrade steering group must meet regularly to ensure continued commitment to Fairtrade Town status. The composition of your steering group should be representative of your community overall.
