Glasgow Fairtrade Cooperative

Welcome

Glasgow Fairtrade Cooperative provides a network for individuals, institutions and businesses interested in promoting Fairtrade in the Glasgow area. If you or your organisation would like to get more involved or are holding a Fairtrade event we’d love to hear from you. We aim to provide a focal point for Fairtrade activities in the area as well as linking in with the good work being carried out at a national level by the Scottish Fair Trade Forum.

Fairtrade in Glasgow

Glasgow was declared a Fairtrade City in 2006 by the Fairtrade Foundation, the UK member of the Fair Trade Labelling Organisation International(FLO). Since then the local fair trade steering group has raised almost £20,000 to support events highlighting the role of fair trade and the products that are available.

In 2009, the steering group decided that to allow for greater inclusivity and flexibility it reformed as the Glasgow Fairtrade Co-Operative.

Why a co-operative?

Most fairtrade producers use co-operative structures to get the produce to our markets; so we thought this would compliment values inherent within the group already. Ethical trading, support for community, education, democratic ownership are all longstanding co-operative values.  Anyone who wants to support fairtrade in Glasgow can join and stand for election to the board.

Should you require any further information please feel free to contact us to discuss your requirements.
