Demand Business That's Fair to People and Planet
Pass a new law that holds businesses accountable for any abuse or climate damage behind their products.
Why is this important?
Every product we buy has a story – of the people who grew it, picked it, stitched it, or packed it. But not every story is fair. Everything we buy in the UK should guarantee fair pay, safe working conditions, and care for the environment. But business that puts profit over people and planet is still mainstream.
Promises of “cheap” and “fast” hide the real cost, paid by the people who produce the things we use every day, their communities, and our planet. Some businesses are doing things the right way: working in partnership, paying fair wages, protecting workers, and safeguarding the environment. But too often they’re undercut by those who are not, pushing rising costs onto the people behind our food, drink and clothing.
We can change this. Fairtrade is calling on the government to pass a new law that holds businesses accountable for any abuse or climate damage behind their products. Together, we can demand rules that make every business take responsibility. Together, we can level the playing field. Together, we can protect people and planet. Your voice matters, add your name today.
This petition is being run in partnership with The Fairtrade Foundation. All signatures from this page and Fairtrade’s Page will be combined and delivered to the UK government as a single voice for change.
