What does <strong>Fair Trade</strong> actually mean?

What does Fair Trade actually mean?

"Fair Trade" translates as "fair trade" and relies on the core competencies of dialogue, transparency, and respect to achieve greater justice in international trade. The core objective of fair trade is that all producers along the supply chain—in the case of GREEN SHIRTS, from the farmer to the distributor—receive a fair share of the final proceeds, often in the form of a so-called minimum price. This practice succeeds in improving the lives of farmers and workers throughout the entire production process.fair wagesto pay out and areliable incomeThe basic structures can best be built in the form of long-term, partnership-based relationships between traders and producers, ideallyFair Tradesupported by environmental and social standards organizations. These ensure that protective clothing, paid leave, and social security contribute to a fairer and more peaceful world, even in the regions of the Global South, whose populations are among the main victims of globalized production conditions.

<strong>Zero tolerance policy</strong> for Fair Trade clothing

Zero tolerance policy for Fair Trade clothing

When GREEN SHIRTS offers a guarantee on Fair Trade clothing, it means customers can rely on a holistic approach to this important global issue. For us, Fair Trade means a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to human and labor rights.

Anyone who buys GREEN SHIRTS products is taking a stand against child labor and forced labor, thereby enabling workers to join unions, which often constitutes a basic prerequisite for valid employment contracts. Fair trade production also ensures safe working conditions that do not compromise health, as well as avoiding discrimination in the workplace. Humane working hours and living wages are human rights that make peaceful social coexistence possible and also enable children to go to school instead of supporting their parents with wage labor. Investing in Fair Trade products is therefore also an investment in a fairer world.

<strong>Fair Trade is more</strong> than just fashionable

Fair Trade is more than just fashionable

GREEN SHIRTS was founded to make the world of fashion more environmentally friendly through the use of organic, natural fibers and more sustainable through a commitment to strict Fair Trade standards. Packaged in basic pieces with innovative designs, GREEN SHIRTS naturally appeals to its customers first with its look, the street fashion vibe that its modern collections capture season after season. But GREEN SHIRTS is passionate about transforming the fashion industry toward sustainability and transparency, and the use of organic fabrics and Fair Trade is more than just a passing fad. In many factories in low-wage countries, workers often toil for hours without a break, very often without an employment contract. They are also not allowed to organize unions and are paid below the minimum wage in their respective countries. But better working conditions must also be paid for. That's why GREEN SHIRTS considers Fair Trade fashion a must for ethically produced products. Because fair clothing can be more than just fashionable.

Fair Trade guarantees <strong>better working conditions</strong>

Fair Trade guarantees better working conditions

GREEN SHIRTS aims to make a decisive contribution to improving working conditions in clothing production and to offer 100% ecological and fair products. Therefore, GREEN SHIRTS is committed to Fair Trade for all its goods and work processes. Fair Trade promotes environmentally conscious labor standards, as well as the sustainable security of livelihoods and strengthening the position of small farmers and agricultural workers. The Fair Trade movement has been proven to have a positive impact on strengthening the labor rights of wage-earning workers. Furthermore, fairer working conditions and Fair Trade certifications promote the development of strong farmers' and workers' organizations and have a demonstrable influence on product quality, increased value creation, and negotiation processes. Fair Trade also strengthens the role of women in terms of gender equality, for example, through direct benefits for female farmers in the increased recognition of land ownership and membership in associations. Consumers can change the world through their purchasing decisions; the power of Fair Trade certifications proves this anew every day.

Things worth knowing about Fair Fashion

Our fair trade fashion is green

Fair trade ensures better working conditions along the production chain, in the case of GREEN SHIRTS, for the producers of natural fibers such as cotton. GREEN SHIRTS' fashion not only supports better working conditions for small farmers and wage laborers, but also promotes the use of organic raw materials. Organic clothing, so-called "green fashion," offers many other advantages besides a stylish appearance. Organic clothing and natural textiles made from natural materials such as organic cotton, wood viscose, bamboo, and hemp, which at GREEN SHIRTS generally always come from fairly traded production, are characterized not only by their high quality but also by their environmentally friendly production. Hardly any environmentally harmful substances are used in the production of organic clothing, which leads to the conservation of valuable resources such as water and thus contributes to the well-being of our planet. The combination of fair trade and organic has proven to be the right path for GREEN SHIRTS to sustainably shape fashion awareness.

The background of the Fair Trade label

The Fair Trade label has gained widespread recognition over the years and is now the first choice for many consumers when it comes to the credibility of Fair Trade. The Fair Trade label generally stands for compliance with ecological and social principles in products. In this way, Fair Trade attempts to balance the imbalance between producers, usually small farmers or wage laborers, and traders that has arisen in the wake of global turbo-capitalism. The situation of farmers in low-wage countries is often very difficult, as the price paid by traders is usually not enough to feed their families or send their children to school. Fair Trade ensures that producers are no longer exposed to fluctuating world market prices for cotton and alternative materials and are no longer exploited by local middlemen. The Fair Trade label represents a countermovement to exploitation, indebtedness, and impoverishment and thus offers an effective strategy for combating poverty.
