Unique for Fairtrade is the focus on developing
                               producers in the 3 dimensions of sustainability:

                                       • Social

general concepts
                             The development approach is conceptualized in
                               the setting of:

                                       • Minimum / Core Requirements  Applicable
                                         from start and compliance with every single
                                         req.
                                       • Progress Requirements  New every 3 years
                                       • Development Requirements  Scoring system

How do we work to be           • Justification of the standards: clear
credible and have rigorous
results?
                                 objectives and guidelines
                               • Consultation of all interested parties

Editor's Notes

  1. The decision for major products and standards are made by a multi-stakeholder committee: the standards committee. The SU presents the final proposals to the committee for decision making, if possible a consensus decision. Decisions for minor products have been delegated by the Standards Committee to the Standards Unit Director. Decisions of the SC are published on Fairtrade International website.
