Getting Fairtrade Certified
Get Fairtrade Certified in Four Easy Steps!
Contact our team
It starts by getting in touch! We will work with you to better understand your business and your specific supply chain needs and to help you create a game plan for getting certified.
Submit your application
You submit a simple application with FLOCERT, a third-party accredited auditor, to ensure that your supply chain meets the Fairtrade Standards. Some companies are excited to find out they’re already using a certified supply chain. In other cases, we’ll highlight your options for tapping into a certified supply chain. At this stage, you will get a “Permission to Trade” so that you can source Fairtrade certified goods.
Label your products
This is when you add the Fairtrade Mark to your packaging. You get a licensing contract and work with our team to register and launch your newly certified products.

You are now part of the global community of brands changing the way trade works. You have access to the Fairtrade marketing team who will support you in celebrating your enhanced impact and commitment to ethical sourcing.
