Fairtrade Fortnight 2024 - Be The Change
This year, it’s not just Fairtrade Fortnight, it’s a milestone of 30 Years of Fairtrade in the UK! For three decades, the Fairtrade movement has been transforming lives and communities by advocating for better prices, decent working conditions, and sustainable practices. What started as a pioneering initiative has grown into a powerful force for good, supported by millions of conscious consumers and thousands of businesses. At Earth Conscious, we’re proud to be part of this commitment by choosing to use Fairtrade Coconut Oil in our range of natural deodorant products.
What is Fairtrade Fortnight?
Fairtrade Fortnight is an annual campaign organised by the Fairtrade Foundation to promote fair trade practices. During these two weeks, businesses, communities, and individuals come together to support the farmers and workers who produce some of our everyday essentials, like coffee, tea, cocoa, and cotton. The goal is to ensure that these workers are paid fairly, work in safe conditions, and are empowered to invest in their communities and the environment.
This fortnight and beyond, Fairtrade is asking shoppers to act now and buy Fairtrade today, so that farmers can change their tomorrow #BeTheChange
Earth Conscious Natural Deodorant: Certified Fairtrade
Earth Conscious Natural Deodorant is Fairtrade certified. This certification is more than just a label; it’s a testament to our commitment to ethical sourcing and sustainable practices.
What Does Fairtrade Certification Mean?
Fairtrade certification ensures that the coconut oil that we use in our natural deodorant is sourced from suppliers who adhere to fair trade principles. This means:
Fair Wages: Farmers and workers receive fair wages for their labour, which helps them achieve a better standard of living and invest in their communities.
Ethical Working Conditions: Suppliers adhere to strict standards that ensure safe and ethical working conditions.
Environmental Stewardship: Fairtrade supports sustainable farming practices that protect the environment, including reducing carbon emissions and promoting biodiversity.
By choosing our Fairtrade-certified deodorant, you’re not just choosing a product that’s good for your skin and keeps you smelling fresh; you’re also making a positive impact on the lives of farmers and workers around the world.
