Ecuador with Fair Trade Certified

Jul 28

I recently got home from documenting a week in Ecuador with the truly wonderful team behind Fair Trade Certified. If you’re unfamiliar, it’s the label you’ll see on certain goods like chocolate, coffee, flowers, clothing— essentially anything that can be produced and sold.

Any company can choose to go through the certification process: those approved are companies that have the highest standards in place in terms of empowering employees, offering incredible working conditions and unionized community-focused incentives like discounted housing, on-site doctors and computer labs.
