Fairtrade
The Women's Institute played an important role in the establishment of the Fairtrade Foundation, joining the coalition of organisations that helped launch the movement in the UK in 1992.
Rooted in the WI's longstanding commitment to education, justice and community action, support for Fairtrade reflects the WI's belief that consumers can make a positive difference through the choices they make every day.
By choosing Fairtrade products, WI members help support farmers and producers around the world to earn a fair price for their work, strengthen local communities, create opportunities for women and promote more sustainable and environmentally responsible production.
