The United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals are a call to action by all countries to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. These goals are everything from moving workers further from the poverty line to enforcing labor laws, all while maintaining the natural resources around them.

At Fair Trade certified factories, workers are met with a high level of standards for where they work. They are paid a livable wage, work in clean factories, and have programs within their factories to better the surrounding communities. Women are also given equal opportunity in pay and leadership roles.

Environmental and sustainable choices are highly considered at Fair Trade factories. Before, during, and after production, Fair Trade is cautious of protecting our planet such as being careful to not contaminate the water sources near the factory and to create a responsible amount of products.
