Fairtrade International is a non-profit organization that works to rebalance power in favor of farmers and workers unfairly disadvantaged by our global trade system. This means that farmers and workers are getting a better deal and can build a better future for themselves. Nearly 2 million farmers and workers benefit from Fairtrade certification, standards, premiums and programs, supporting them in deciding on their futures and fulfilling their potential.

As part of Off Road Coffee's mission to support farmers, the coffee used to make our Inca Trail Roast, El Dorado, Rain Forest Brew, Cloud Forest Brew and Mayan Legend are Fairtrade certified. These ingredients support the global Fairtrade movement, securing a better deal for nearly 2 million farmers and workers. For more information on the sourcing and traceability of Fairtrade ingredients, visit https://info.fairtrade.net/what/traceability-in-fairtrade-supply-chains.

Fairtrade certified means the farmers and workers involved in production have received at least the Fairtrade Minimum Price for their crops – a financial safety net when market prices fall. They also receive a Fairtrade Premium, the highest among ethical products, to invest in business and community projects of their choice like healthcare and education.

Fairtrade also collaborates with farmers and workers to create the Fairtrade Standards. These form a sustainability framework that is independently measured and checked to ensure the rights of people and the environment are upheld. From prohibiting child labor (as defined by the International Labour Organisation (ILO)) to safe use of chemicals and protecting land and water sources, Fairtrade is a powerful way to grow sustainability and fairness.

Fairtrade refers to all or any part of Fairtrade International, Fairtrade producer networks, and national Fairtrade organizations (like Fairtrade America). Products carrying the Fairtade Mark have met the rigorous social, economic and environmental standards required for Fairtrade certification. Fairtrade America and Fairtrade International do not own the concept of “fair trade,” which is a movement towards equitable trade but does not reflect any third-party certification.
