The pontis foundation becomes a fair trade workplace

Posted: Wednesday 19 November 08, 9.04am GMT

The Pontis Foundation has become the very first foundation in Slovakia to receive a Fair Trade Workplace Certificate from the Integra Foundation, which recognizes organizations supporting the fair trade principles.

In Pontis Foundation, we have been supporting the fair trade idea for a long time. Fair trade is a widely recognized concept of sustainable development for small farmers in developing countries. Serving fair trade products at the events organized by the Pontis Foundation has already become a tradition.

Fair trade guarantees the following principles:

  • fair and stable price for the producer
  • long-term trading relations and payments
  • investment in the development of poor communities
  • fight against child labor abuse
  • environmentally sensitive growing
  • support of skills development and a better position of producers in the world market
