"We can chart our future clearly and wisely only when we know the path which has led to the present"

Standards

WORLD-CLASS: The core GIFFT standard is an enhancement upon existing fair trade standards. From its inception, the GIFFT standard has been designed to comply with the requirements of ISO 65 standards; standards of the Fair Trade Labelling Organization (FLO); the Social Accountability Standard SA 8000; the USDA National Organic Program (NOP) standards; numerous private Fair Trade standards such as the IMO and Naturland Fair Trade and Social responsibility standards; and, the standards from the ISEAL SAS project.

UNDERSTANDABLE: While being strict and meaningful, GIFFT fair trade standards are intelligible and easy to read. This gives both producers and buyers the ability to understand their product's GiFFT standard. This understanding increases their confidence in the GiFFT mark on the product.

AVAILABLE: With GiFFT, the standard is high but the barriers to entry are low. Any company interested in receiving the GiFFT mark on their product can enter their product in the GiFFT Engagement Process.
