Fair Trade Sports is the first sports equipment company in the US to launch a full line of eco-certified Fair Trade sports balls, ensuring fair wages and healthy working conditions for their adult workers. Fair Trade Sports is committed to donate all profits after taxes to children's charities, both domestic and international.
Their sports ball product line has several certifications on them, including the first-ever "green" certification for balls. Their eco-certification refers to the rubber that makes up to 70% of their sports balls. Their rubber tree forests in India and Sri Lanka have been third-party certified as sustainably managed.
Their Fair Trade certification refers to a third party certification that their adult workers are paid a living wage and ensured healthy working conditions. By marrying that Fair Trade certification system to the existing "no child labor" movement, they have created a lasting, positive solution to the root problem behind child labor, which is extreme poverty. By paying the parents a certified fair trade wage, they are not forced to put their children to work just so the family can survive.
Fair Trade Sports is certified by B-Corporation, Green America, Forest Stewardship Council, and the Fair Trade Federation.
