Convert your Council, Town or City

Whether you live in a village, town, city or island you can join the global revolution and make your area a Fairtrade Council, Town or City.   Why become a Fair Trade Council, Town or City?

 
• It brings positive publicity and shows that the council is serious about corporate social responsibility and is responsive to its staff and the community;
• It is a tool to help the council meet sustainability, environmental and social responsibility goals;
• Helps build community as organisations and businesses work together to promote Fairtrade;
• FTAANZ provides a range of resources: including promotional materials and information, a quarterly newsletter and website resources;
• Join an international community of Fairtrade Towns including Rome, London, San Francisco and Brussels. See more at http://www.fairtradetowns.org/
