Fair Trade Sports is proud to be a member of the Fair Trade Federation. 

Membership means we adhere to standards and principals that pursue an equitable and fair partnership between marketers in North America like Fair Trade Sports, and the producers of our products around the world. 

For us, that is specific to Sialkot, Pakistan, the producer of 80% of all sports balls in the world, including our fairly traded soccer balls and more. 

A Fair Trade partnership works to provide low-income producers with a living wage for their work. Among many criteria, FTF membership includes:

• Paying a fair wage in the local context
  
  
• Being open to public accountability
  
  
• Building long-term trade relationships
  
  
• Providing healthy and safe working conditions within the local context
  
  
• Providing financial and technical assistance to the producers of our products whenever possible
  
• Engaging in environmentally sustainable practices
