TODAY FAIR TRADE HAS GROWN INTO A LEADING MARKET-BASED MODEL OF SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION, TRADE, AND CONSUMPTION, AND IS APPROACHING AN INFLECTION POINT. IN 2020, THE SALE OF FAIR TRADE CERTIFIED PRODUCTS IN THE US REACHED AN ESTIMATED $6 BILLION FROM OUR 1,400 LEADING PARTNERS AND RETAIL SALES. CONSUMER AWARENESS HAS INCREASED TO 63% IN 2020, AND WE ADDED AN ADDITIONAL 199 BUSINESS PARTNERS IN THE SAME YEAR. WE HAVE GENERATED A CUMULATIVE IMPACT OF $846 MILLION IN ADDITIONAL INCOME FOR FARMERS AND WORKERS IN MORE THAN 62 COUNTRIES. IN 2020, FOR EVERY DOLLAR WE INVESTED IN GROWING THE FAIR TRADE MARKET AND MOVEMENT, WE GENERATED FIVE DOLLARS IN IMPACT FOR THE HARDWORKING FAMILIES WHOM WE SERVE. THIS SOCIAL RETURN ON INVESTMENT IS EXTRAORDINARY, BUT IT'S NOT ALL WE MEASURE. ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT, WORKER HEALTH, AND SAFETY ARE ALL PART OF THE FTUSA PROGRAM EFFORTS.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$4.9MProgram 3 [2020]
IN 2020 WE DEVELOPED THE FIRST FAIR TRADE DAIRY STANDARDS IN THE WORLD. BUILDING UPON A FOUNDATION OF IMPACT AND MARKET EXPANSION, WE INITIATE A FAIR TRAE CERTIFICATION PILOT PROGRAM IN 2020 TO BRING FAIR TRADE TO A NEW SECTOR - DAIRY. WE PARTNERED WITH DAIRY FARMS AN COOPERATIVES IN THE NEW YORK AN IDAHO. THE GOAL OF THIS EFFORT WAS TO TEST OUR CERTIFICATION PROCESS IN A REAL-WORLD SCENARIO, INCORPORATING FEEDBACK FROM PILOT PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS. WE CREATE A RIGOROUS 200-POINT CHECK LIST OF SOCIAL AND LABOR CRITERIA NECESSARY FOR A DAIRY FARM OR COOPERATIVE TO ACHIEVE FAIR TRADE CERTIFICATION. IN 2014, WE LAUNCHED THE WORLD'S FIRST FIR TRADE SEAFOOD PROGRAM. OUR STANDARDS SAFEGUARD AGAINST TRAFFICKED LABOR, IMPROVE WORKERS SAFETY AND REQUIRE SUSTAINABLE FISHING PRACTICES. THE INDUSTRY ALSO PAYS A PREMIUM BACK TO FISHERMAN FOR IMPORTANT COMMUNITY INVESTMENT IN HEALTH, EDUCATION, CLEAN WATER, AND INCOME DIVERSIFICATION.OUR FIRST PILOT WAS A COOPERATIVE OF 116 YELLOW FIN TUNA FISHERS IN INDONESIA. SINCE THEN. WE EXPANDED CERTIFICATION TO NINE WILD-CAPTURE FISHERIES IN FIVE COUNTRIES AND TRAINED HUNDREDS OF SMALL-SCALE FISHERS IN HOW TO MEET RIGOROUS FAIR TRADE STANDARDS. AS OF 2020, FAIR TRADE CERTIFIED ALASKAN SALMON, MEXICAN SHRIMP, NEW ENGLAND SCALLOPS, AND MALDIVIAN SKIP-JACK TUNA ARE AVAILABLE FOR CONSUMERS IN THE UNITED STATES AND PARTS OF EUROPE. OVER 3000 FISHERMAN AND WORKERS BENEFIT FROM FAIR TRADE AND HAVE RECEIVED OVER $1.9 MILLION IN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT FUNDS SINCE THE PROGRAM INCEPTION. HALF OF GLOBAL FISH CONSUMPTION COMES FROM FARMED FISH, OR AQUACULTURE.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$2.3M
