Companies that sell Fair Trade products in developed countries can pay a fee to use the Fair Trade logo, of course on the grounds that they are indeed using Fair Trade products. The benefits to companies in countries such as the United States, England, Australia, etc, is that that consumers will usually view the business as having higher ethical standards, which is likely to entice consumer conscience which leads to increased sales. Consumers are also usually willing to pay a higher price for the product which will cover the cost of Fair Trade logo fees.

An ethical approach to consumerism. Most of what we purchase consumers is bought off the producers, for very little money, by middle-men and global companies who take all the profit.

These goods are marked with the "Fair Trade" symbol - See related link.
