關於FairTSA 組織
"我們的使命是讓社區在包容下成長。基於此使命，FairTEA團隊確保資金能維持在有責任度且持續性支持相關工作。" - Dr. Winfried Fuchshofen, Executive Director
基於此，FairTSA已開發了自我社區成長支持計畫和利用認證網絡，結合合格的原住民，且和無政府組織合作。在這方式下，透過民主過程授權予當地社群，我們支持生產者社群，在他們自我努力下，創造良好生活環境。在特殊案例中，我們也促進當地未來研究計畫規劃的運作。以創新的方法，將不同行業的人聚集在一個合作計畫過程中，只為了一個單純的目的。支持生產者是努力的一環。經常，公平交易和社會責任認證者讓小型生產者單獨迎合面對相關要求，其是建立在我們西方以文件方式標準和控制的文化下。當這西方文化遇到這些人們以口頭和傳統為主的文化，就產生衝突，相互誤解就經常發生。因此，我們提供對我們的生產者的支持，即使他們尚未和我們註冊，從免費研討會到派駐生產相關的經理人去協助引導他們整個過程。
FairTSA 公平交易基本標準
FairTSA公平交易基本標準涵蓋農業產品和過程亦包含化妝品。從成立開始，FairTSA標準就設計為符合國際標準組織(ISO)的規範。這標準企圖結合明確清楚的要求，並融合具有足夠彈性去迎合文化多樣性的環境。產品合格需在這規範下，在國家生產地的整個供應鏈都亦須在這合格規範下。
About FairTSA org.
"Inclusive community development is our mission. It is through this requirement that the FairTSA team ensures that the funding associated with our work is both accountable and sustainable."
Dr. Winfried Fuchshofen, Executive Director
To this end, FairTSA has developed its own community development support program and leverages certifiers’ networks, qualified indigenous personnel, and collaborating NGOs. This way we support producer communities in their efforts to create decent living conditions while empowering the local communities through the democratic process. In specific cases we can also facilitate an on-site Futuresearch Project Planning process, an innovative method to bring people of many walks of life together in a joint planning process for a common purpose.
Support for Producers is integral to endeavor. Often, Fair Trade and Social Responsibility certifications leave especially small producers alone in trying to cope with requirements that are based on our Western, document-centered “standard and control” culture. When this Western culture meets people in a mostly oral or traditional culture, the results can clash, and
mutual misunderstandings are not uncommon. Therefore, we offer our producers support even before they sign up with us – from free seminars to the assignment of a Producer Relations Manager to help guide them through the process.
FairTSA Fair Trade Basic Standard
The FairTSA Fair Trade Basic Standard covers agricultural products and
processing as well as cosmetics. From its inception, the FairTSA Standards
have been designed to comply with the requirements of the International
Standardization Organization (ISO). The standard attempts to combine firm
and clear requirements with enough flexibility to cover culturally diverse
situations. For products certified under this standard, the whole supply chain
in the country of origin must be certified.
