Fairtrade

Fairtrade School logoFairtrade is a strategy for poverty alleviation and sustainable development.

Its purpose is to create opportunities for producers and workers who have been economically disadvantaged or marginalized by the conventional trading system.

If fair access to markets under better trade conditions would help them to overcome barriers to development, they can join Fairtrade.”

 

 

Fairtrade is a tool for development that ensures disadvantaged farmers and workers in developing countries get a better deal through the use of the international FAIRTRADE Mark.

St Benedict’s proudly obtained Fairtrade School status in 2012.

Each year during ‘Fairtrade Fortnight,’ students organise a very popular café using products that carry the FAIRTRADE MARK. Fairtrade goods can be found in the school canteens all year round
