Preferred term

fair trade and environmental certification  

Definition(s)

  • Fair Trade and environmental certification refers to various labeling programs designed to bring accountability to globalized production systems that otherwise obscure a product's sources and conditions of production. Amid food safety scares, environmental concerns, and ethical convictions, consumers and activist groups increasingly turn to certification systems to identify a product's social and environmental qualities.
