WORKERS: Fair Trade Ingredients

This Proof Point is applicable for products that contain a minimum of 10% fair trade ingredients but are not certified as fair trade.

To evidence the Fair Trade Ingredients Proof Point please submit both:

  • your completed Fair Trade Ingredients cover sheet
  • the fair trade certificates for all fair trade ingredients in your product(s)

All fair trade ingredients certificates should be consolidated within 1 PDF, along with the completed spreadsheet as the front page (tip: save all files as PDF and then use a PDF merge tool to consolidate). 

Guide to completing the Fair Trade Ingredients Cover Sheet

  1. Please list each Fair Trade Ingredient in the Key section as a separate row along with the Certificate Name (can be a reference to the ingredient name/document title). 
  2. In the Key section on the sheet, the column Certificate # is the certificate number you allocate to each of your fair trade certificates. This is so that we can easily reconcile each certificate (and relevant ingredient) to each product.  
  3. In the Product and Ingredients section of the sheet, please include:
    1. The product(s) that include a fair trade certified ingredient
    2. The INCI list of the product
    3. The fair trade ingredient of the product
    4. The percentage of fair trade ingredient of the product (must be above 10%)
    5. The certificate number which corresponds to the fair trade ingredient(s) in the product
