FairTSA - Fair Trade Sustainability Alliance

What you want to know?

The FairTSA standard is a certification program grounded in social responsibility and fair trade principles, such as SA 8000 and Fair Trade Organization . It operates in alignment with ISO management system frameworks and complements agricultural products by requiring compliance with organic standards—such as USDA-NOP—as a prerequisite.

By displaying the FairTSA logo, producers demonstrate that their products are ecologically manufactured without harming the environment and that workers' rights are safeguarded under fair trade practices. The FairTSA standard is structured to incorporate agricultural and organic requirements established by regulations/standards like NOP and GLOBALG.A.P.

Under the scope of FairTSA, Kiwa Belgelendirme currently offers a range of Fair Trade standards, including:

• Agricultural production
