Iezzi, Fair Trade Federation executive director, in a press release. “Their innovative business and education model creates a broad, deep, and sustainable impact on the artisans’ lives.”Indego is a proud member of the Fair Trade Federation, a trade association that strengthens and promotes more than 150 North American organizations fully committed to Fair Trade, which has strict membership requirements reserved only for organizations that demonstrate a commitment to the long-term development of their artisan partners. As a Fair Trade Organization, Indego Africa has been evaluated for its full commitment to nine Fair Trade Principles, including transparency, capacity-building, paying promptly and fairly, environmental sustainability, and safe and empowering workplaces (learn more at indegoafrica.org/fairtrade).
