What does Fairtrade mean?
The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent consumer label which appears on products as an independent guarantee that disadvantaged producers in the developing world are getting a better deal.
Producer organisations that supply Fairtrade products receive a minimum price that covers the cost of sustainable production and an extra premium that is invested in social or economic development projects.
What does it mean to be a Fairtrade town?
A town must achieve five goals to be awarded Fairtrade town status:
(1) The town council serves Fairtrade tea and coffee at its meetings and in its offices
(2) A range of Fairtrade products is available in the local shops, cafes and catering establishments
(3) Fairtrade products are used by a number of local work places and community organisations
(4) The campaign has media coverage and popular support in the town
(5) A local Fairtrade steering group is established
Billericay has many places where you can buy Fairtrade – this is the list (as we know it)
