About Fair Trade
Tumbleweed Gifts only works with businesses that follow all Fair Trade guidelines when working with Mexican artists.
Fair Trade means an equitable and fair business partnership between companies and producers in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and other parts of the world. A fair trade partnership works to provide low-income artisans and farmers with a living wage for their work. Fair Trade Federation (FTF) criteria are:
• Paying a fair wage in the local context.
• Offering employees opportunities for advancement.
• Providing equal employment opportunities for all people, particularly the most disadvantaged.
• Engaging in environmentally sustainable practices.
• Being open to public accountability.
• Building long-term trade relationships.
• Providing healthy and safe working conditions within the local context.
• Providing financial and technical assistance to producers whenever possible.
Tumbleweed Gifts thanks you for contributing to and supporting positive trade practices between Australia, North America and Mexico.
