Fair Trade Advocacy Office

The Fair Trade Advocacy Office speaks out for Fair Trade and trade justice with the aim to improve trading conditions for the benefit of small and marginalised producers and poor workers in developing countries.

Based in Brussels, the office coordinates the political activities of the four main Fair Trade Networks: Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International FLO-I, International Fair Trade Association IFAT, Network of European Worldshops NEWS! and European Fair Trade Association EFTA. These four networks bring together over one million Fair Trade producers from more than 60 countries, 20 national labelling initiatives, hundreds of specialized Fair Trade importers, 3000 worldshops and more than 100,000 volunteers.
