FairTrade Uni

We are Fairtrade University !!!

What does Fairtrade mean? Fairtrade aims to reduce the imbalance in global trade by empowering producers in the global South and making the consumption of these goods responsible. Economy, ecology and social issues are the three pillars of the Fairtrade standards. All producers and traders must adhere to the standards - only then may their products be labeled with the Fairtrade seal.
