The WFTO operates in over 70 countries across 5 regions: Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and North America and the Pacific Rim, with elected global and regional boards. It creates market access through policy, advocacy, campaigning, marketing and monitoring. It is the only global network whose members represent the Fair Trade chain from production to sale.

WFTO members are organisations differentiated by their 100% Fair Trade commitment to eradicate poverty through sustainable economic development; pioneering social and environmental policy and practice, and continual reinvestment in marginalised artisans, farmers and producer communities in some of the most fragile places on earth.

The goal of the WFTO is to enable small producers to improve their livelihoods and communities through sustainable Fair Trade. It does this by delivering market access through policy, advocacy, campaigning, marketing and monitoring.

The World Fair Trade Organization is a global community of pioneering and passionate change-makers, responsible for the development of the sustainable Fair Trade economy, for the good of us all.
