Fairtrade

Moray Council is committed to the Fair Trade campaign and are involved in this by promoting awareness of Fair Trade issues and opportunities for supporting Fair Trade in Moray and by using Fair Trade goods within the Council and Council outlets where possible.

Fair Trade ensures that farmers and workers in the developing world get fair terms of trade, better prices, decent working conditions and local sustainability. They do this by requiring companies to pay sustainable prices (which must never fall lower than the market price) Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.
