The Fair Trade Sustainability Alliance (FTSA) is a non-profit organization specializing in fair trade and accountable, sustainable community development. The Alliance was established in 2007 to help advance the fair trade movement and sustainable community development around the world. Having gone though several development phases, we now collaborate with indepent organic certifiers. They are the ones who inspect and certify farms and processors under our standard.

Services: FTSA develops and holds fair trade and sustainability standards, facilitates partner-friendly system certification, licenses the FTSA fair trade mark on certified products, and supports the accountable use of Social Premium funds.

Sustainable Community Development: FTSA ensures that the community development associated with its work is accountable and sustainable. To this end, the Alliance leverages certifiers' networks and qualified indigenous personnel.
