Sustainable trade
Sustainable trade is a broad term that covers several types of trade, like fair trade and
organic trade.
Sustainable trade occurs when the commercial exchanges of goods and services generate
social, economic and environmental benefits in accordance with the fundamental
principles of sustainable development:
- Creation of economic value;
- Reduction of poverty and inequality;
- Preservation and reuse of environmental resources.
The promoters of these practices want to put the emphasis not only on decent working
conditions, but also on the fact that this trade is carried out with a genuine consideration
for environmental resources and a concern for the preservation and reuse of raw
materials.
Fair trade and organic trade are specific models of sustainable trade.
