Principle Two: Transparency and Accountability
The organization is accountable to the stakeholders as well as respects confidentiality and commercial
information. The organization is transparent regarding the developed activities and commercial relations,
the management, in general, by establishing efficient and open communication channels at all levels of the
supply channel. In addition, the organization’s management allows the participation of members involved
in its activities in the decision-making processes.
Principle Three: Fair Trading Practices
The organization should maintain long term relationships with its stakeholders based on solidarity and
mutual respect and trust maintaining effective communication with partners. Furthermore, the
organization trades considering and acting in concern to social, economic and environmental issues.
Therefore, Fair Trade safeguards, recognizes and promotes small producers’ traditional skills and cultural
identity mirrored in the products or services created such as the craft design and food products.
