“Protecting People and Planet. How Fair Trade enterprises contribute to sustainable market transformation”
given by Leida Rijnhout, Chief Executive WFTO – World Fair Trade Organization
During the lecture we will answer the questions:

• what is Fair Trade (short background and explanation of this notion),
• how Fair Trade contributes to the achievement of SDGs (how it evolved from countering poverty in the South to a broader attitude to environmental issues and system change),
• why there is a need for sustainable business models (SBM) and how Fair Trade enterprises answer to this need (case studies of such enterprises like Seepje or Malonge),
• what are the current challenges and developments within Fair Trade enterprises, Fair Trade market, and WFTO important to achieve sustainable market transition.
