Fair trade fights against child-labor and sweat-shop abuses, which is very important to our company and the suppliers we work with.

A whole range of issues here proving that you can't just use a 'buzz word' to grab in consumers. An ethical company is rounded and strives running every aspect of its business in a responsible way. I particularly like Giving Back – it’s about being more than just a product, a sign of great altruism!

I think the Animal welfare category is most interesting because normally when talking about CSR they are not mentioned that much...

I think companies should comply with this one: "We do not participate directly or indirectly in any animal testing" Why should the animals suffer just because we want to survive? Do we have more right to live?

I think the issues about Fair Trade is most important because they can eradicate child and slave labour

About the FAIR-issues

In cooperation with various NGO’s and CSR experts TheFairPages have developed over one hundred FAIR-issues compiled into nine categories. They are built around some of the already existing guidelines and standards for CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility).

Companies with a profile on TheFairPages can choose which FAIR-issues they practice and display them on their profile. The number of FAIR-issues is not about “the more, the better”. They simply show the different opportunities companies may have in contributing to a more FAIR & sustainable world.

Click on one of the icons to the left to read about the various FAIR-issues a company can engage in. Users can vote for the FAIR-issues that they find most important in each of the nine categories.
