World Fair Trade Day (WFTDay) on Saturday 8 May is an initiative of the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO, www.wfto.com) and is being supported by thousands of citizens, Fair Trade Organisations, social and environmental movements, producers and consumers all around the planet.

Local authorities, national governments and multilateral institutions have been supporting Fair Trade for several decades now.

The World Fair Trade Organization is the global network of Fair Trade Organisations around the planet, from Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and North America Pacific Rim. It represents more than 350 Fair Trade Organisations from more than 70 countries with highest geographical outreach.

The events celebrating the World Fair Trade Day (WFTDay) are being organised by hundreds of different organisations uniting Fair Trade producers and consumers, Fair Trade Organisations, social and environmental movements in a common effort to support Fair Trade and trade justice for small producers.

We think this is a great excuse to support all our favourite Fair Trade brands like CRED who are offering some great discounts on the day including a generous 20% off their silver collection.
