Fairtrade aims to certify colleges and universities as ethical by committing to using fairtrade products when available.
There are now 70 Fairtrade Universities, mostly in the UK. The University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh has become the first college in the United States to be designated a “fair trade university”.
What is a Fairtrade University?
A University can be awarded Fairtrade Status by the Fairtrade Foundation if it fulfills the 5 Fairtrade goals:
1. Has a Fairtrade University Steering Group.
2. Has a written Fairtrade Policy.
3. Sells Fairtrade products in all outlets.
4. Uses Fairtrade products at internal meetings and events.
5. Campaigns for increased consumption of Fairtrade products on campus.
