Head of Standards (m/f/d)

Fairtrade is the most recognized and trusted sustainability label, working to make trade fairer for people and planet.

For more than three decades, Fairtrade has been making an impact on the way trade works. We believe that every farmer and worker should have access to a better way of doing business, and a better way of living.

Fairtrade International is an independent non-profit organisation representing more than two million small-scale farmers and workers worldwide. It owns the FAIRTRADE Mark, a registered trademark that appears on more than 37,000 products. Beyond certification, Fairtrade International and its member organisations (three producer networks and 19 national Fairtrade organisations) partner with producers and businesses, engage consumers, and advocate for a fair and sustainable future.

Unit's description and purpose:

Standards & Pricing (S&P) within Fairtrade International is responsible for developing (i.e. preparing, reviewing, amending, adapting) and revising Fairtrade Standards by following Standard setting procedures (SOP), which define core procedural principles complaint with ISEAL Code. We bring Fairtrade's vision to life through our Standards by developing ideas and building consensus.

We support implementation and assurance, monitor impact, and continuously strive for improvement.

Producers and traders must meet applicable standards for their products to be certified as Fairtrade.
