WFTO-Europe has a vision of a world in which trade structures and practices have been transformed to work in favour of the marginalised producers and artisans and to promote sustainable development and justice. WFTO-Europe aims at building a fairer world for everyone, where fair trade and trade justice are the keystones to challenge the problems of the current economic model.
WFTO-Europe has a double mission:
a) To advocate for more equity in trade and economic relationships at European level.

Other financial info
The money paid to the Fair Trade Advocacy Office consist of membership fees only, no direct payment for services is ever made for their work in representing us and the broader Fair Trade movement towards the EU institutions and policy-makers.
We are beneficiaries to an Erasmus+ and have received a grant from this in 2022 and are expecting to receive the next tranche in the current financial year (2023). We have applied for other, similar EU grants and are waiting to hear whether they will be granted to us or not in the current financial year. -
