World Fair Trade Day (May)

Every second Saturday of May, WFTO celebrates World Fair Trade Day to shine a spotlight on the transformative power of the Fair Trade business model and its positive impact on people’s lives and communities. For 2025, the theme of the campaign is: Be the voice of the #BusinessRevolution!

Last year, we ignited a powerful global movement united by a shared vision, an open invitation for all to be part of real change. Now, it’s time to build on this incredible momentum and take it even further. This year, the spotlight is on you, the true changemakers who are challenging outdated norms and reshaping an economic system that no longer serves people or planet. Rooted in collaboration, guided by the 10 Principles of Fair Trade, and fuelled by thousands of actions across the globe, we are not just a network, we are a transformative global movement. It’s time to show the world that Fair Trade Enterprises are the future of business, ethical, sustainable, and inclusive by design. Let’s lead the way!

World Fair Trade Day serves as a global platform to raise awareness about Fair Trade principles and practices, promoting social and economic justice. By showcasing the success stories of Fair Trade Enterprises, WFTO aims to inspire consumers, businesses, and policymakers to embrace Fair Trade as a powerful tool for creating a more equitable and sustainable world. World Fair Trade Day reinforces WFTO’s commitment to fostering Fair Trade relationships and driving systemic change for a new global economy.
