Fair trade works through a system of standards and certifications implemented by international organizations. Buyers and producers work directly with each other to develop commercial relationships, trust and mutual support. Both the buyers and the producers adhere to a set of Fair Trade criteria established by the International Fair Trade Association for handicrafts, or the Fair Trade Labelling Organization for agricultural commodities such as grapes, used in producing wine.
The producer group agrees to provide good working conditions, safety procedures and adequate health standards for all workers. In addition, democratic working processes must be available for groups receiving a Fair Trade premium. The use of this money is decided upon by the democratically elected workers committee. Producers also agree to use environmentally sound production methods.
Both the buyer and the producer group agree to promote human rights, especially those of women, children and people with disabilities. As buyers and producers meet milestones, they are expected to continuously improve upon these standards.
Certifying organizations provide continuous inspections to ensure that the standards are being adhered to.
