Business and Fairtrade
Business is ever more powerful, not just in mature markets like the
UK but in emerging economies such as Asia and Latin America where
multinational firms and other companies can also achieve dominant
positions. Many interest groups are concerned about human rights,
climate change and environmental protection and recognise the need to
engage with the business world in order to make ethical investments and
other ethical decisions.
Firms are starting to realise that they must be more accountable, transparent, responsible and sustainable if they are to have a long-term future. This applies to anyone who is trading, not just large firms.
