A guide for shoppers & retailers 2015
2 Fair Trade Shopping Guide 2015
Dear Readers,
On behalf of the Fair Trade Association of Australia and New Zealand, we are delighted to present the 2015 edition of the Fair Trade Shopping Guide.
The Fair Trade Association is the peak agency promoting the Fair Trade Movement in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific. Our goal is to educate individuals and community groups about what makes trade ‘fair’, and about the impact of Fair Trade on empowering disadvantaged producers in developing countries. By engaging people in the work of the Fair Trade Movement, our hope is that individuals and community groups will gain a stronger understanding and appreciation of their connectedness as consumers, with producers and artisans around the world.
As part of this work, the Fair Trade Association produces the Fair Trade Shopping Guide, which aims to provide consumers and retailers with up-to-date information on Fair Trade businesses and the wide variety of products available. In its fourth edition, the Fair Trade Shopping Guide continues to be the most detailed and widely distributed Fair Trade Guide available in Australia and New Zealand.
Also contained in the Guide is information on how you can participate in the Fair Trade movement, beyond your purchases, including joining a local Fair Trade Network or forming an accredited Fair Trade Community in your school, university, town, church or workplace.
If you are interested in finding more about Fair Trade, Fair Trade Networks or the work of the Fair Trade Association, we would encourage you to visit us via our website www.fta.org.au /www.fta.org.nz or to connect with us via our Facebook page www.facebook.com/fairtrademovementThe small act of putting a fair trade product in your shopping basket or on your shop’s shelf assists vulnerable producers to lift themselves out of poverty. Thank you for using this guide and supporting the products and businesses that are dedicated to Fair Trade. Every purchase choice matters.
A letter from the Fair Trade Association

Why Fair Trade?
This guide enables you to support trade justice, and say ‘no’ to exploitation, through your purchasing choices.
Every Fair Trade purchase makes a difference to farmers, workers, artisans, their families and communities.
This guide will help you find products that are not just unique and beautiful, but also bring the benefits of Fair Trade back to the people who created them.
Each business in the guide provides a story: their philosophy and how they support Fair Trade, the people who create their beautiful wares, the products themselves, or all of the above.
Each entry also specifies the range of products available, and how you can shop for them.
DISCLAIMER: While we have sought to include only businesses that stock Fair Trade products or operate according to Fair Trade principles, no guarantee or endorsement is given of any listed business in regard to their Fair Trade operations other than Fairtrade Certified products which carry the Fairtrade Label, Fair Trader endorsed businesses, or WFTO member organisations.
Fair Trade is a movement: a socially innovative response to market failure - the failure of the conventional trade system to provide just wages, safe working conditions and environmental standards for vulnerable communities.
Fair Trade challenges unfair trading practices by creating an alternative approach to international trade. Fair Trade provides: a system that seeks greater equity for producers, farmers, crafters and workers; a fair price that covers the cost of production; a wage that covers the living basics of food, shelter, clothing, education and medical care; and reinvestment into community schools, health care clinics and skills development.

Endorsed Fair TradersBusiness listed on the following pages contain the Fair Trader of Australia symbol. This means these
businesses have been endorsed by the Fair Trade Association as having Fair Trade at the core of all that they do.
To receive endorsement as a Fair Trader, businesses must demonstrate their commitment to the 10 Principles of Fair Trade including creating opportunities for disadvantaged producers, payment of a fair price, gender equity and fair working conditions.
The application process also involves the producer groups or suppliers of goods to the trader, demonstrating
how they also keep with the 10 Principles of Fair Trade.
This means when you buy products from an Endorsed Fair Trader, you can be sure they source most of their products by partnering with disadvantaged producers to give them opportunities to create a sustainable livelihood and improve their lives.
Endorsed Fair Traders sell a range of products, such as handcrafts, giftware, and clothing, sourced from WFTO members and Fairtrade™ products including tea, coffee, chocolate and sports balls.
