Work with us
People are at the heart of Fairtrade. The Fairtrade team is a passionate, dedicated and highly experienced group of individuals. Our regional offices are in Australia and New Zealand and we work throughout the Asia Pacific.
Our vision
Fairtrade changes the way trade works through better prices, decent working conditions and a fairer deal for farmers and workers.
Our mission
Fairtrade actively advocates for fair trade policies and practices locally and internationally, creating an environment where the rights and wellbeing of farmers and workers are prioritised. And we work hard to create more demand for fairly traded and ethical goods in Australia and New Zealand, driving positive change in global supply chains.
Partners
We are grateful to work collaboratively with both national governments in Australia and New Zealand to support small scale farmers in the Pacific through the Fairtrade terms of trade. We also actively promote the products produced by Pacific farmers to consumers in both countries.
