Max Havelaar – Fairer living

Fairtrade Max Havelaar uses the Fairtrade mark to designate products that have been produced and traded in line with Fairtrade standards. More than 1 300 products in our Food and Non-Food range have been awarded the Max Havelaar Fairtrade quality label.

Our products

For fair and sustainable trade

Fairtrade Max Havelaar is a non-profit organization and assigns the Fairtrade mark in Switzerland to sustainably grown and fairly traded products from countries disadvantaged by unfair global trade structures. The democratic organization of producers is also a key issue. Fair, sustainable trade relations are important to us. We have been working with the Max Havelaar Foundation since 1992 and we are now the largest provider of Fairtrade Max Havelaar products in Switzerland.

Principles of fair trade

Fairtrade certification offers these benefits to farmers and to nature:

Self-determination and assumption of responsibility thanks to co-determination in democratically organized cooperatives and workers’ committees
Higher and steadier incomes thanks to a stable minimum price
Regulated working conditions and health protection measures
Rewards for investments in improving production and development projects
Long-term trade relations and local support
Sustainable farming and respect for the environment
