What concrete actions? Fair for Life evaluates the company's fair commitment from all angles: fair trade policy, social and environmental responsibility, and consumer respect.
In total, more than a hundred points are evaluated. Here are the main ones:
**1. Price higher than the market price**: A minimum purchase price significantly higher than the market price is set in advance to ensure decent and predictable income for the producer and their employees.
**2. Long-term agreement**: A renewable 3-year contract has been concluded to allow the producer to consider their activity with peace of mind.
**3. Minimum order set in advance**: At the beginning of each year, we commit to a minimum order to provide stability and visibility to the producer.
**4. Financing a development fund**: Beyond the price higher than the market, we pay an additional 5% to finance **a development fund** fully allocated to workers and their families.
**Some examples of actions funded by this development fund:**
• Renovation of the homes of some employees
• Contribution to the medical expenses of some employees
• Contribution to the financing of several schools in the city
