Welcome to The Fairtrade Gift Box ~ The gift that gives twice
Fairtrade is at the heart of what we are about.
Fairtrade is trade as it should be - trade that puts people and planet before profit.
Fairtrade ensures that the artisans or farmers that are creating the gift items are guaranteed a fair wage, good and safe working conditions, and a social premium that they can spend improving their communities, which is often spent on health, education, safe water and environmental projects, or helping the Fairtrade Cooperatives improve sustainability and productivity. Fairtrade cooperatives actively work with the most disadvantaged in their communities. Fairtrade empowers women, and helps to ensure there is no child or trafficked labour in the workforce. Fairtrade also helps farmers adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change.
At The Fairtrade Gift Box we believe everything in our gift sets should be ethically made, so all our gifts are Fairtrade or Eco friendly items. So feel free to shop with confidence knowing that your purchase is helping to make a difference to many different Fairtrade artisan and farmer communities across the world.

As well as being Fairtrade, we are very aware of our responsibility as a small business to do what we can to be as eco friendly as possible. Environmental concerns are always addressed by the Fairtrade scheme who include a number of environmental criteria in their certification scheme.

We are also partnering with a programme called One Tree Planted, which means for every order on our website over £20, we will donate $1 for a tree to be planted - read more about this inspiring programme click here.
Further we use packaging from a pioneering green company that was specifically set up to to provide an eco friendly alternative for packaging, or reuse packaging we have been sent, and all our cellophane is biodegradeable.

Coronavirus Crisis
|
Fairtrade International have recently released guidelines to all Fairtrade Cooperatives enabling them to use their Fairtrade Premium money towards effective PPE for workers and health and hygiene programmmes to help raise awareness of the virus and the precautions people can take. We will sadly see the impact of the virus affect poorer countries both in terms of the populations health and also economically in the coming months, Trading fairly to help these people and their livelihoods get back on their feet sustainably after this crisis is more important than ever. This year has given us a pause to think about how we can improve trade for people and planet, and Fairtrade is key to ensuring we have fair trading relationships with the people who supply much of our groceries.
