Fairtrade wants to improve relationships between producers and consumers. Fairtrade defines fairtrade standards, that need to be complied to by products who want to carry that mark. Standards include:
- Standards for small producers
- Standards for hired labour
- Standards for contract production
- Trader Standard
- Climate Standard
- Textile Standard
The goals for these standards are foremost to ensure adequate prices for sustainable production. Furthermore, they also try to provide a Fairtrade Premium (a payment) for investment in projects, pre-financing for producers, etc. There are core requirements and those of continuous development to be met – around social, economical, environmental development and around labour.
The organisation for auditing this whole process is FLO-CERT.
Licensing happens via national organisations, e.g. for German speaking countries it's Transfair in Germany, Max Mavelaar-Stiftung in Switzerland and Fairtrade Austria.

Fair Trade critique
Fair Trade as a concept has also been criticised:
- There is no restriction for the declaration of something as "fair", many different unofficial labels make it difficult for the consumer.
- Only parts of raw materials in the finished product can be fair trade, but the percentage is not declared.
- Fraud certification marks on products have also been found, i.e. production environment for products with a label have found to not necessarily be better than for products without a label.
