CCC Reference Guide on Code Implementation & Verification
Section 5. Code-Related Activities in a Global Context
Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO)
FLO is the worldwide Fairtrade Standard setting and Certification organisation.
It permits more than 800,000 producers, workers and their dependants in
50 countries to benefit from labelled Fairtrade. FLO guarantees that products
sold anywhere in the world with a Fairtrade label marketed by a National
Initiative conforms to Fairtrade Standards and contributes to the development
of disadvantaged producers and workers. See www.fairtrade.net
Recently, in several European countries, national FLO organizations
(Max Havelaar Switserland, Austria, Belgium and France) have begun to
bring garments on the market made of fair-trade cotton. FLO is considering
expanding this to fully fair-trade garments and in discussion with CCC
about the implications this would have.
