IOAS provides accreditation and assessment for fair trade certification by evaluating certification bodies that assess compliance with fair trade principles. These principles focus on ethical practices, including fair wages, safe working conditions, environmental sustainability, and equitable trade relationships. Through its rigorous accreditation processes, IOAS ensures that certification bodies maintain high standards of competence and integrity, thereby upholding the credibility of fair trade certifications. This helps promote transparency and trust in fair trade products, ensuring that consumers can confidently support ethical and sustainable practices in global trade.
IOAS works with CBs that have defined their own fair trade scheme.
