Fair trade certification helps you know that the products described as "fairly traded" are in fact fairly traded.

Why Fair Trade Certified is a resource to help you and your congregation understand the certification process and the reasons for it.

Equal Exchange Model of Fair Trade explains how Equal Exchange, the UCC's partner, implements the fair trade model.
