FLOCERT is on a mission to assure fairness

FLOCERT is one of the world's leading social auditing and certification bodies, and the global certification body for Fairtrade.

The world's best-known and trusted ethical label, the Fairtrade Mark, champions:

  • responsible business practices and long-term, reliable trading relationships;
  • fairer prices and better working conditions for farmers and workers;
  • no child, forced or exploited labour;
  • gender equity; and
  • freedom of association for workers. 

Here at FLOCERT, we're proud to be responsible for ensuring the credibility of Fairtrade's key elements.
