CLAREMONT – The City Council voted on Tuesday to support a resolution of support for the city becoming a Fair Trade Town.

“What does this mean?” asked interim City Manager Colin Tudor.

“The city will receive national recognition, the right to use a Fair Trade Town Claremont USA logo. Businesses who are identified by the program will be listed on the Fair Trade Towns website. We’ll be the first Fair Trade Town in Southern California. It will hopefully attract visitors to the community. Fair trade products are one of the fastest selling in the market.”

Fair Trade is a movement that certifies small producers worldwide have adherence to environmental standards designed to protect the planet, safe working conditions, community development, fair prices and no abusive or forced child labor, Tudor said.

Every certified product sold requires producer organizations have received the minimum fair trade price, Tudor said, while the international fair trade system monitors and audits the product supply chains ensuring producers legally receive the money while workers, producers and local communities benefit.

Tudor said Fair Trade Towns USA are designed to recognize cities meeting five standards:

  • A significant number of local organizations using fair trade products
  • Ability to have fair trade products readily available to purchase in local businesses
  • Formation of a committee
  • Pass a resolution endorsing fair trade
  • Encourage media attention
