This
Council recognises that FAIRTRADE is tackling poverty by enabling
disadvantaged producers from poor countries to receive a better
deal, through encouraging support for the FAIRTRADE mark.
We therefore resolve to
support FAIRTRADE by
- Serving FAIRTRADE tea & coffee at our
meetings
& offices
- Encouraging the use of FAIRTRADE products in our
town in the local
workplaces & community organisations
- Attracting support for FAIRTRADE in the media &
in our own publications
- Supporting the formation of a local steering group
to ensure the continued
commitment to obtaining FAIRTRADE TOWN status.
