The Fair Trade Advocacy Office (FTAO) is proud to share its 2024 Annual Report, a reflection of a defining year for the Fair Trade Movement and our collective mission to shape trade policies that centre justice, equity, and sustainable development.
In a time of political shifts and global uncertainty, 2024 saw the FTAO stand firm in its commitment to amplify the voices of smallholder farmers, workers, and mission-driven enterprises. From historic EU legislation on forced labour and corporate due diligence to our push for a Global Green Deal, we worked alongside civil society, policymakers, companies, producers and youth to bring forward a vision of trade that puts people and planet first.
This report captures our achievements and policy progress, our collaborations, and our financial performance in 2024. But also highlights the challenges ahead and our advocacy priorities for the new EU legislature.
