It is about the inherent worth and dignity of every person and the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all. Social justice tenets include - but are not limited to - a just society, rule of law, equitable distribution of goods, fair and humane treatment, human rights and equal opportunity. Fair Trade ResourcesSustainable living needs to happen on a global scale in order to avoid the injustices and asset depletion of globalization. When farmers and producers around the world receive a living wage, when they are justly paid for their labors, then the world benefits. Fair Trade is at the heart of sustainability. It respects the dignity of human beings, builds meaningful relationships, and challenges the tendency of corporations to undervalue communities and individuals. Fair Trade calls on each of us to see others as more than simply the means to our ends.
