New Ethical Trade Conference Announced

New Ethical Trade Conference Announced

For the first time, the Fairfield Conference is bringing together all those interested in ethical trade as a tool for social justice, to reduce poverty and restore right relationships between developing-country producers and first-world consumers.

Your consumption choices matter. As an ethical consumer, learn how you can make ethical choices which bring freedom, integrity and allow all people to benefit from the work of their hands. Be inspired by ethical businesses which are empowering producers and consumers. Dig deeper into the practical issues faced and how you can make a difference.

From ethics to practical business experience and advocacy, through exceptional speakers from NZ and beyond, seminars and participatory workshops, a vibrant marketplace and documentaries, we will explore different approaches, models, issues and strategies.

Come, meet, share, learn and be encouraged! Everyone is welcome. Attendance is Free, and lunch and refreshments are included for everyone who has registered.

Visit our website to see the amazing range of speakers and participants from the ethical trade community we have brought together for you. Register now at www.fairfieldconference.org.nz
