Trader Corporate Certification

As opposed to traditional Fairtrade Trader Certification where every legal entity buying and selling Fairtrade products holds 1 individual certificate, Trader Corporate Certification allows up to 11 legal entities to be covered by 1 certificate, to buy and sell Fairtrade products, i.e. 1 legal entity acting as “Master Operator” (certificate holder) and up to 10 other legal entities considered as “Associates”.
