The Fair Trade pledge is a way for MSPs to show their support for all actions which improve the livelihood of farmers and workers who produce many of the products which we consume everyday. This also involves supporting a fair economy and committing to tackle the climate emergency.
We would like to see more of our MSPs engage with the Fair Trade principles, and build a greater awareness of the importance of Fair Trade within the Scottish Parliament.
When an MSP pledges their support for Fair Trade, they are agreeing to:
- Take actions to promote Scotland’s Fair Trade Nation status
- Listen to the voices of producers in global supply chains, support actions to build back a fairer economy and tackle the climate emergency
- Support measures to increase the public procurement of Fair Trade products
Join the campaign
So far, campaigners have joined in, highlighting to our political leaders, the importance of Fair Trade in Scottish communities, and to the lives of global producers.
If your MSPs have already signed the pledge, consider thanking them for this show of support. If your MSPs are yet to sign the pledge, please encourage them to pledge their support.
73 MSPs have pledged to support Fair Trade – with your help, can we reach 129 MSPs?
