Fairtrade Fortnight
Fairtrade Fortnight is an annual event that highlights Fairtrade Foundation’s mission to support fair and ethical trading practices for marginalised producers in developing countries. Its main objective is to raise public awareness and to promote Fairtrade products.
The first Fairtrade Fortnight in the UK was held in 1997 in Scotland. The campaign successfully encouraged all grocery stores across Scotland to stock Fairtrade goods, and the campaign spread to the rest of the UK in the following year.
