Solidaridad invented fair trade coffee. Then we changed the banana market forever by introducing the first sustainable banana brand in the world. Next Solidaridad initiated Made BY, in London, to promote sustainable fashion. Today, Solidaridad is an international organization with more than 45 years of experience in creating fair and sustainable supply chains from producer to consumer. We believe that fair and sustainable trade is a powerful catalyst to reduce poverty, build communities and protect the environment.
Solidaridad works across several commodities globally including aquaculture, cocoa, coffee, cotton, dairy, fruits and vegetables, gold, livestock, palm oil, soy, sugarcane, tea, textiles and other agricultural crops. We partner with companies, financial institutions, governments, investors, and other NGOs to develop supply chains with added value that enable producers, such as smallholder farmers and (artisanal) miners, to lift themselves out of poverty. We also foster support among the general public and consumers by building awareness of the opportunities that sustainable trade offers.
Solidaridad is a network of 9 regional offices on 5 continents. In North America (USA and Canada), the Solidaridad Network is represented by Solidaridad North America, a 501 (C)(3) organization. To learn more, visit: https://www.solidaridadnetwork.org/regions/north-america
