Fair trade most commonly refers to the practice of companies paying fair trade organizations in developing countries to certify products as complying with certain economic and ethical standards. Additional costs over the market rate might go toward social development projects where the goods are produced.
Kellen Spence and Jenn Neilson run Dharma Fair Trade, a soap and candle business, in Ontario's only fair trade town, Port Colborne. They aim to support workers in the developing world and provide consumers with more choices.
