The aim of the Fair for Life Social & FairTrade Programme is to ensure fair and positive relations between producers and their cooperatives or contracting companies, between workers and their employer, between seller and buyers on the world market while at the same time ensuring performance of standards.
Social Responsibility Certification
confirms that workers enjoy good working conditions and that producer groups have well working, accountable internal structures. The Fair for Life programme builds on widely acknowledged baseline standards such as the
conventions of ILO,
SA 8000
and the
social criteria of IFOAM.

Social & FairTrade Certification
includes all social standards, but focuses additionally on trade relations. "FairTrade" means long-term and trustful cooperation between partners, transparent price setting, open negotiations and prices that allow for social development of the concerned communities. Although the Fair for Life Social & FairTrade Programme does not restrict fairtrade to developing countries and marginalized producers, fairtrade clearly aims at improvement of the social conditions of those groups who are most deprived in the respective local setting.
