Worldshops

The independent certification allowed the goods to be sold outside the worldshops and into the mainstream, reaching a larger consumer segment and boosting fair trade sales significantly.

The worldshops' target is to pay the producers a fair price that guarantees substinence and guarantees positive social development.

Worldshops' aim is to make trade as direct and fair with the trading partners as possible.

Worldshops also typically organize various educational fair trade activities and play an active role in trade justice and other North-South political campaigns.

Worldshops are often not-for-profit organizations and run by locally based volunteer networks.
