2 2 Fair Trade USA 2015 Almanac

3 Fair Trade USA 2015 Almanac 3 For the past 17 years, Fair Trade USA has worked to increase the market access, linkage, and impact of responsibly sourced agricultural products and factorymade goods, directly benefiting millions of farmers, workers and families all over the world and establishing the Fair Trade Certified label as a respected and reliable brand for informed consumer choices. MISSION & VISION Founded in 1998, Fair Trade USA is the leading 501(c) (3) nonprofit, third-party certifier and promoter of Fair Trade products in North America. Our mission is to enable sustainable development and community empowerment by cultivating a more equitable global trade model that benefits farmers, workers, consumers, industry and the earth. We achieve our mission by empowering producers around the world with the business training, environmental knowledge, and capital investment necessary to create high-quality products that can compete in global markets, and by certifying and promoting Fair Trade products. Through Fair Trade, farmers and workers are paid a Fair Trade Premium for use on long-term social and business development projects such as healthcare, scholarships, women s leadership initiatives and environmental preservation initiatives, as voted on by the farmers themselves. The Premium, which sets Fair Trade apart from other certifications, is one of the key drivers of impact and is the best way to evaluate the difference that Fair Trade is making in the hundreds of communities we serve. The Fair Trade Premium paid to farmers and workers on top of a fair price for their products that is agreed upon between the buyer and seller. In some of the most pricevolatile commodities, like coffee, sugar and cocoa, Fair Trade standards require that farmers earn at least a Fair Trade Minimum Price. While many Fair Trade products fetch higher prices due to their superior quality, the Minimum Price protects against major dips in the market that have historically left farmers struggling to stay afloat. In addition to the many improvements and financial security that the Fair Trade Premium and Minimum Price bring to communities, there are a myriad of equally important but less tangible benefits that result from our certification. Compliance with Fair Trade standards ensures that farms and factories are safe places to work, while also preserving local ecosystems and greening production to protect the planet and produce healthier goods. Democratic decision-making, gender equality, mutually-beneficial business relationships and education are also topics that are addressed head-on through Fair Trade s deliberate balance of empowerment and economic justice.

4 4 Fair Trade USA 2015 Almanac Theory of Change Fair Trade USA is building an innovative model of responsible business and conscious consumption that enables sustainable livelihoods for farmers, workers and their families around the world. Our model engages three key stakeholders - Producers, Businesses, and Consumers - and deeply connects all to realize shared goals. As a part of this ecosystem, Fair Trade USA believes: In order to enable these outcomes, Fair Trade USA invests in the following core activities: Develop & Implement Fair Trade Standards Certify Producers & Supply Chain Partners Enable Producer Services Which Build Competitiveness Engage Businesses & Consumers to Cultivate Demand Define, Measure, & Communicate Impact

5 Fair Trade USA 2015 Almanac 5 What We Do DEVELOP & IMPLEMENT FAIR TRADE STANDARDS Fair Trade USA sets standards related to labor, livelihoods, and the environment and regularly evaluates them to help ensure that they re providing maximum impact to producers and workers while remaining practical for businesses. We partner with certification bodies to audit and certify supply chains to these standards. The development of new standards involves a comprehensive multi-stakeholder process that leverages a combination of expert opinions and learnings from the field. The standards are reviewed to ensure they align with the goals of Fair Trade USA and maximize impact on the ground. Fair Trade standards cover four main pillars of sustainable development: Empowerment, community and individual well-being, income sustainability, and environmental stewardship. Specifically, our standards include requirements related to fair prices and wages, safe working conditions, biodiversity and sustainable production, and the management of the Fair Trade Premium to improve their communities and their lives.

6 6 Fair Trade USA 2015 Almanac CERTIFY PRODUCERS & SUPPLY CHAIN PARTNERS The Fair Trade Certified label is backed by a rigorous, third-party auditing process to ensure compliance with our standards. We track transactions along the supply chain between more than 1,000 companies and more than 500 producer organizations which represent millions of farmers and family members. Our approach to certification enables many different producers of a range of commodities to participate and compete in international markets in ways that are fair and equitable today and help them to progress and acquire greater business capacity over time. The Fair Trade standards are regularly audited at every level of the supply chain to ensure equitable trade practices. Farm Audits: Fair Trade USA partners with Californiabased SCS Global Services, an independent certification company with more than 25 years of experience, for farm audits, certification and standards development. We also recognize certificates from FLO-CERT, the Germany-based, ISO 65-accredited ethical certification program. Factory and Cotton Farm Audits: Fair Trade USA partners with California-based Elevate Global Limited and Europebased TUV Rheinland, both independent certification organizations with global networks of auditors. For Fair Trade cotton suppliers, we recognize certificates from FLO-CERT, the Germany-based, ISO 65-accredited ethical certification program. Desk Audits: Our certification team audits transactions between importers, manufacturers, distributors and the farmer organizations from which they source. We verify the chain of custody to ensure that the companies licensed to display the Fair Trade Certified logo are following our strict standards. Trade Audits: To earn a license from Fair Trade USA to use the Fair Trade Certified label on their products, companies must buy from certified farms and organizations, pay Fair Trade prices and premiums and submit to a rigorous supply chain audits. We partner with the leading organic certifier Oregon Tilth to ensure brand compliance with our standards. ENABLE PRODUCER SERVICES WHICH BUILD COMPETITIVENESS While Fair Trade is a powerful model of community development and empowerment, we believe that trainings and strategic partnerships with other organizations make our model stronger and more effective. To this end, Fair Trade USA plays a unique and valuable role in connecting organizations from all areas of the supply chain to maximize impact for producers. We connect companies with suppliers and importers of Fair Trade goods. We work with producer organizations to help improve product quality and business acumen, secure financing, and foster the development of business and communication skills. And finally, we address supply chain challenges through innovative partnerships with NGOs and industry partners. Leadership trainings for farm and factory workers are an especially important way to ensure maximum benefit is being garnered from our certification. In places where workers have historically had no voice in the workplace, we lead workshops on democratic process, decision making, communication with management, and best practices for Premium investment and budgeting. Trainings like these empower workers to make the most of the benefits that Fair Trade offers.

7 Fair Trade USA 2015 Almanac 7 ENGAGE BUSINESSES & CONSUMERS TO CULTIVATE DEMAND Today s consumer doesn t just shop for price and quality. Sustainable and responsible products are rapidly gaining in market share across product categories. A growing body of research indicates that consumers want to know more about the food they eat: is it safe, is it healthy, what was the impact on the environment and the farmer? A macro-trend is clearly emerging toward more conscious and responsible shopping, pushing industries to seek greater transparency and traceability in their supply chains. Fair Trade helps companies get the transparency needed to tell the full story of products and their impact. Moreover, Fair Trade certification adds value to skeptical consumers who want independent, third-party verification of companies claims around sustainability. Finally, we empower advocates and activists with a meaningful way to get involved at a local level through our Fair Trade Campaign program. These factors are all key to Fair Trade s success as a market-based approach to sustainable development. With the rise of conscious consumerism and increasingly sophisticated campaigns from our Communications team, recognition of the Fair Trade Certified label has jumped to 59% in the United States, with an even greater level of awareness and understanding among the up-and-coming millennial generation. DEFINE, MEASURE & COMMUNICATE IMPACT Fair Trade USA has a responsibility to ensure that all of our work leads to the greatest possible impact for farmers and workers, our business partners and the end consumers of Fair Trade products. In order to do that, we consistently monitor, evaluate and communicate about the impact that we are having on the lives of farmers and workers around the globe. The impact data that we collect and analyze offers a high level of visibility into supply chains for brands and retailers, in addition to giving Fair Trade USA the insight needed to constantly improve the service we offer. Our Impact Management System is constantly evolving and has become a robust system for evaluating the impact Fair Trade USA is having on the lives of farmers and workers. Using a multitude of data collection methods, from audit reports to farmer and worker surveys, we now know more about the effects of our model than ever before. Communicating this impact with stakeholders and the public is of upmost importance to our organization. This document provides detailed volume and premium data, while impact stories and study results are regularly published throughout our online network (blog, newsletter and social media) and by independent news sources via partnerships we have with the media. In addition, we regularly provide our brand and retail partners with impact reports demonstrating the impact their investment in Fair Trade is having on their supply chain.

8 8 Fair Trade USA 2015 Almanac How Fair Trade USA Drives Impact The primary goal of Fair Trade USA is to enable sustainable livelihoods for the farmers and workers who grow and create the goods we purchase. Fair Trade USA accomplishes this through certifying producer organizations against Fair Trade standards and enabling a price premium that goes back directly to producers and their communities. STANDARDS PREMIUM IMPACT Producers are certified against Fair Trade standards. Some of the concepts that are required and encouraged include: Fair Trade Producers receive a premium on products sold. Farmers & Workers vote democratically on how to invest the premium based on their community s needs. Example Premium Projects include: - Elections & democratic decision-making - Freedom of Association & Collective Bargaining - Capacity Building (Trainings) - Clear employment contracts & conditions* - Ethical recruitment of workers* - Dialogue between workers & management* Women s training & leadership programs Training & investment in financial literacy & income diversification Empowerment - No forced labor, discrimination or abuse - Protection for young workers - Use of Personal Protective Equipment - Safe worker housing conditions* - Access to potable water - Access to education & childcare* - Access to healthcare, first aid & emergency services* - Reasonable working hours & breaks* Building schools & funding scholarships for students Investment in medical & dental care Community & Individual Well-being Sustainable Livelihoods - Fair Trade Minimum Price - Trade, contract & pre-finance requirements - Increased market access - Soil fertility & soil health practices - Progress towards a living wage Investment in infrastructure to improve production output & product quality Development of low-interest credit & savings programs Income Sustainability - Prohibition of the worst chemicals - Protection for biodiversity & waterways - Integrated Pest Management - Efficient pesticide use - Waste management - Soil health management Training & technical support to help farmers convert to organic production Development of reforestation programs Environmental Stewardship * In these areas there are additional requirements for larger scale producers because they tend to have more workers and often have more resources to implement the standard.

9 Fair Trade USA 2015 Almanac 9 Producer Impact Framework The Producer Impact Framework is a structure of the expected outcomes within the overarching goal of Sustainable Livelihoods for producers. Sustainable livelihoods are driven by Empowerment, Individual & Community Well-being, Income Sustainability, and Environmental Stewardship. Tier 1 Outcomes are a more granular definition of what Fair Trade USA is working to achieve within those goals. Tier 2 Outcomes are quantitative or qualitative factors to which Fair Trade USA directly or indirectly contributes. Using the impact framework, a comprehensive list of indicators was developed, in close alignment with industry-accepted metrics from the ISEAL Alliance, Sustainable Food Lab, Committee on Sustainability Assessment (COSA), Fair Trade USA business partners and many other organizations. Refer to the Indicator List for the full set of metrics we track, by collection method.

11 Fair Trade USA 2015 Almanac 11 By the Numbers 2015 Highlights Coffee continues to be the leading Fair Trade USA product with over million pounds imported (this was a slight decline in FTUSA imports versus 2014 as Starbucks, while continuing to purchase Fair Trade, moved their volume to Fairtrade International to fit with their European procurement strategy). This coffee volume translated to $32.7 million in Community Development Premiums to help farmers weather volatile prices, strengthen their communities, and fight drought and plant diseases. Fair Trade Certified produce imports increased by over 30% in 2015 with the certification of 72 new producer groups in nine different countries. The variety and market availability of Certified produce is now stronger than ever with fruits and vegetables ranging from bananas, pineapples and mangos to cucumbers, bell peppers and even squash. Imports of Fair Trade Certified coconut and sugar also increased 238% and 275% respectively in 2015 as brands large and small deepened their commitments to Fair Trade. The Fair Trade Certified Apparel & Home Goods program also saw impressive growth of 389% in 2015 with the certification of 2.7 million products. Factory workers and cotton farmers earned more than $647,525 in Community Development Premiums through the sale of these products. Fair Trade USA s newest endeavor, the Capture Fisheries Program, saw a 900% increase in Community Development Premiums earned by fishermen as the result of a nation-wide tuna launch.

12 12 Fair Trade USA 2015 Almanac All Products: Fair Trade Certified Products in the United States, Since 1998, Fair Trade producers have earned over $250 million in additional Community Development Premiums. Coffee continues to be the leading Fair Trade category: farmers earned $32.7 million in community development premiums in 2015 alone. The Sugar and Apparel and Home Goods categories both saw substantial premium increases in 2015 as new brands dove into Fair Trade and existing companies deepened their Fair Trade offerings.

14 14 Fair Trade USA 2015 Almanac Coffee: BY THE NUMBERS Since Fair Trade USA was founded in 1998, coffee producers have earned nearly $200 million in Community Development Premiums. The Fair Trade Minimum Price also provides additional income to farmers when commodity prices are depressed. In reviewing historical coffee prices and volumes since 1998, we estimate that Fair Trade potentially represented an incremental $400MM of cumulative income to farmers (above the Community Development Premium). We are proud to share that: Fair Trade USA imports totaled million pounds in As noted earlier, a slight decline in FTUSA imports versus 2014 was due to Starbucks procurement strategy which shifted their volume to Fairtrade International. FTUSA volume would have increased year over year if not for that event. Coffee continues to be the leading Fair Trade USA product category with over $32.7 million in Community Development Premiums to farmers, enabling improved livelihoods and stronger communities. Since, FTUSA s inception in 1999, coffee premiums to farmers have totaled $194 million. Latin America continues to be the largest source of Fair Trade coffee imported to the United States, accounting for 85% of the volume. Indonesian exports are the second largest, accounting for 10 percent of total volume. Nearly 60% of Fair Trade coffee is also certified organic. Fair Trade coffee producer organizations invested their Fair Trade CDP as follows: o 62% was spent on projects aimed at improving either quality or productivity o 38% was spent on social or community programs and farmer price support In 2015, Fair Trade USA made great strides to deepen and broaden our assessment of impact at origin beyond simply reporting Premium and volume numbers. Farmer level surveys began to paint a picture of farmer productivity, land ownership, farmer livelihoods, relationships between farmers and cooperatives, and how decisions are made around Premium investments. Additionally, we partnered with Cornell University to beta test cost of sustainable production (COSP) research studies to determine break-even points for cooperative coffee farmers. We look forward to scaling these assessments to provide a clearer picture of Fair Trade s impact in the coming years.

18 18 Fair Trade USA 2015 Almanac Consumer Packaged Goods: Cocoa, Sugar, Tea, Spices, Coconut and More: BY THE NUMBERS The Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) program is comprised of many different product categories including cocoa, sugar, tea, coconut, grains, spices and more. The CPG category grew significantly in 2015 with commitments from a variety of new brands and expanded sourcing from many existing partners. As a result, Premiums earned by farmers increased 40% over those earned in We are proud to share that: In 2015 Fair Trade coconut volumes grew 283%, helping farmers earn over $820 thousand in Premiums. Over 38 million pounds of Fair Trade Certified sugar were imported into the U.S. in 2015, a 275% increase over Cocoa farmers earned nearly $3.5 million in Premiums. Tea farmers and workers earned over $2.3 million in Premiums. Products with Fair Trade Certified ingredients provide an almost limitless opportunity to expand the benefits and impact of Fair Trade to the lives of farmers and workers. As Fair Trade USA looks to future growth of this category, its focus remains on the people who create the goods we consume. Growing demand for ethically and responsibly sourced goods will undoubtedly bring Fair Trade USA into new product categories, origins and brands as we continue building the Fair Trade movement in 2016 and beyond.

22 22 Fair Trade USA 2015 Almanac Apparel & Home Goods: BY THE NUMBERS Since Fair Trade USA launched apparel and home goods certification in 2010, cotton farmers and factory workers have earned almost $1 million ($982,738) in Community Development Premiums. In 2015, the Fair Trade Factory program transformed from an emerging category to a more established category with a bright future ahead. We are proud to share that: Fair Trade USA certified more than 2.7 million apparel and home goods products this year, up from 558,000 in 2014, which represents a 389% growth rate. Fair Trade certification was achieved at 14 new factories, contributing to a total of 22 participating factories in 7 countries. More than 20,000 factory workers are now benefiting from being part of the Fair Trade system. Factory workers invested their Premiums in exciting projects this year such as women s health programs, onsite day care for their children, and bicycles that help workers save significant time and money on their commute while reducing tardiness. A wide range of products are now available to consumers including clothing, footwear and accessories for women, men and children. Home goods such as rugs, bedding, blankets, and decorative accessories are also becoming more widely available in the market.
