We believe in a Fair Go
About Fair Go Trading
Since 2004, Fair Go Trading has collaborated with Fair Trade groups worldwide, bringing thousands of handmade artisan products to Australia and New Zealand. Over nearly two decades, we’ve supported families in developing nations by fostering equitable partnerships and ensuring fair value for their work.
We also partner with like-minded businesses in Australia and New Zealand that share our commitment to the 10 Fair Trade principles. Our collaborations with dozens of Fair Trade groups and organisations have not only provided invaluable expertise, but also deeply enriching experiences.
As a social enterprise, our goal is to benefit all who work with us—both our local teams and our artisan partners overseas.
Our dedicated team of designers, product developers, and Fair Trade buyers works closely with customers and colleagues to create custom designs, develop products, and monitor market trends. Through these efforts, we continue to empower communities, support sustainable livelihoods, and uphold the values of Fair Trade across the globe.
Fair Go Trading - Our Products
We source contemporary Fair Trade and eco-friendly products through a transparent supply chain, benefiting everyone involved in our work. Our focus is on creating meaningful change by developing products, building capacity both within our organization and among our artisan partners overseas, and championing community engagement and advocacy.
Fair Go Trading is committed to sustainability, with our branded products emphasizing natural fibers such as hemp, jute, cotton, alpaca, hogla (seagrass), and rattan. We love combining natural textures with vibrant colours in our designs. Many of our products are upcycled from the leftovers of the local garment industry,
Our homewares and garden collections include tableware, functional storage baskets, laundry baskets, pot covers, wall hangings, floor and hanging basketry, and DIY crafting materials.
We also embrace alternatives to plastic and aluminum by offering sturdy kitchen steel serving sets, hand-painted storage canisters, and steel drinking tumblers and jugs. Our garden range features upcycled iron bells and chimes, pot plant stands, and gardening accessories like watering jugs that can be used both indoors and outdoors.
OUR ADVOCACY WORK
We produce material and resources providing in-depth knowledge on the processes behind our work. We do this through online resource development, advocacy via the production of events and by attending: state, national and international conferences and programs.
Most importantly we subscribe to the 10 Principles of Fair Trade and we love our work. We regularly visit producer groups and communities, are proactive in the local Fair Trade community and work within compliance programs to keep true to the 10 Principles of Fair Trade.
We are members of the Fair Trade Association of Australia and New Zealand and the Western Australia Fair Trade Collective. We regularly attend the World Fair Trade conferences and programs of work.
