Partner with us

1. Get in touch with our team

Fill out the form below and our team will get in touch to better understand your business and supply chains. From there we will help you create a game plan for partnering with us – you may need to either be certified and licensed or in some cases just licensed! We can help you determine the correct path forward.

2. Certification

If you are manufacturing or packaging products directly then you will need to become Fairtrade Certified first. Our Certification process is all managed via an independent third party auditing group called FLOCERT. To ensure that your supply chain meets Fairtrade Standards, you will submit an application to FLOCERT as a starting point and they will assist you through the process of becoming certified.

Your FLOCERT application will be reviewed. If approved, you will receive a Permission to Trade (PTT), which means you can start officially sourcing Fairtrade products. Your brand can’t use the trusted Fairtrade Mark on packaging yet, but that’s the next step!

3. Licensing

This is when you get to add the Fairtrade Mark to your packaging. You will need to enter into a licensing agreement with Fairtrade Australia and New Zealand and work with our team to register and launch your newly certified products.

As part of the approval process our Licensing Team will review the recipe and supply chains of the products you wish to label, making sure they were sourced from Fairtrade certified farms and meet any ingredient thresholds. The team will also help you correctly position and use the Fairtrade Mark on the packaging of your certified products.

4. You’re a Fairtrade partner!

You are now part of the global community of brands changing the way trade works. Our team will continue to work with you to deepen your work and impact for farmers and to support you in communicating to consumers about your commitment to people and the planet.

As you get new packaging printed, it’s time to think through the many ways that your company can amplify the exciting news that your products are now Fairtrade Certified! We can help with training and marketing support on how to talk about your Fairtrade commitment with both stakeholders and consumers.
