Communicate your commitment

Fairtrade America has created a range of materials to support your storytelling in our Partner Support Folder. From our Licensee Toolkit, Communications Guide, social media templates, farmer photos, statistics and more, we have what you need to get started.

Check the latest partner newsletter or reach out to your account manager for access to these helpful tools.

A landing page that outlines your brand’s commitments to people and the planet, like the one Navitas Organics created, is a great way to build your brand connection with Fairtrade and help your followers and shoppers understand what you stand for.

Consider including elements like farmer images and stories, impact data from Fairtrade, talking points that speak to you, a link to the Fairtrade America site and a quote from your leadership on why you’re invested in Fairtrade. Our team is happy to review content with you!

Deepen consumer understanding of your Fairtrade journey with a blog post like this one from Conscious Step.

Consider topics like: What does Fairtrade mean to you in one word? Interview your company’s Fairtrade lead about how and why they advocate for Fairtrade.

Line up social media posts featuring your Fairtrade products and why Fairtrade is important to your brand. Check out this example from West Pak Avocado for inspiration.

Tips: Tag us (@FairtradeMarkUS) and show the Fairtrade logo or package shots to help your fans identify Fairtrade items when they’re shopping. It could also be helpful to establish a regular cadence of Fairtrade content within your social media schedule to build recognition and understanding.

Challenge: Organize a social media giveaway in partnership with another Fairtrade brand.

Include information or announcements related to Fairtrade and your brand’s commitment and impact through your email communications to internal and external stakeholders. You can find up to date content to share on our News & Insights page, and check out our Partner Support Folder for messaging and graphics.

Fairtrade America launches regular campaigns to raise awareness of Fairtrade’s work with farmers and our certified products. Our brands are important partners in spreading that message!

Keep an eye on our partner communications and monthly newsletters for ways to engage alongside us during our special campaigns, like our annual activations during Fairtrade Month.
