EU Toolkit for Fair and Sustainable Trade
publication
The EU as enabler of citizen-led social innovations
7 October 2021
The EU Toolkit for Fair and Sustainable Trade outlines a comprehensive strategy to promote fair, sustainable, and responsible trade policies. It brings together regulatory measures, market incentives, and citizen-led initiatives to ensure that global trade aligns with social and environmental justice.
From import bans on forced labour to Fair Trade Week, the toolkit integrates top-down and bottom-up approaches, empowering citizens, businesses, and local authorities to drive change. It calls for stronger trade and sustainability enforcement, fairer procurement policies, and inclusive dialogue to support small farmers, ethical businesses, and sustainable consumption.
