This is the Ecocert label launched in 2006, designed for certifying fair trade channels - qualified in countries in Northern and Southern hemispheres alike - by controlling all the actors from organized producers through to brand owners. Over and above the basic principles of fair trade, “Fair for Life” provides an economic model based on equity, with fair remuneration and transparent dialogue with suppliers plus product traceability and a quality guarantee, transparent, long-term partnerships, development and fair-trade premiums, support for social and environmental practices and management in a democratic organization. “Fair For Life” is an inherent part of the permanent progress made by all participants by operating with levels of control (= progressive requirements) over 3-year cycles. Its audit system is based on pertinent criteria, whilst adapting to ‘field’ realities at the same time, and it requires all certified organizations to respect the 3 pillars of the reference frame (organic farming, CSR and fair trade).
