Explores Scotland’s potential to achieve inclusive growth through the delivery of increased sales and awareness of Fair Trade.

This independent Review of Fair Trade sales growth and promotion in Scotland, commissioned by the Scottish Government’s International Development (SGID) Team, is published at a time when there has never been a better opportunity for Fair Trade to re-state its relevancy to the climate change emergency through using fair and ethical trade to sustain the livelihoods and environments of the poorest communities across the globe.

The Review’s purpose has been to enable SG to further progress Scotland’s potential to achieve inclusive growth through the delivery of increased sales and awareness of Fair Trade, as key actions in achieving the United Nations International Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted in the International Development Strategy published in 2016 and which are planned up to 2030. The report has been structured to illustrate the current environment and context for growing Fair Trade sales and awareness, summarising existing promotional and policy activity, identifying barriers and opportunities for progress and concluding by a recommending a series of actions across key themes.
