Fair Trade banner comes to Cardiff
Cardiff, the world’s first Fairtrade Capital City, will show its support for fair trade by welcoming the International Fair Trade Association (IFAT) banner today (5 May).
The banner, which has visited 47 countries, will be welcomed at 21 different events across the UK in the lead up to World Fair Trade Day on 12 May.
The Global Journey banner was launched by IFAT in Mumbai in January 2004 to celebrate and raise awareness of the new Fair Trade Organisation Mark, a consumer label certifying organisations that are 100% Fair Trade.
Over 300 organisations worldwide are registered with IFAT, including Divine, Café Direct, Tearcraft and Traidcraft in the UK.
