making the world fairer
Fairtrade’s yearly Fairtrade Fortnight campaign is an annual celebration of people, including farmers and families, who are working to make the world fairer. It’s an opportunity to educate and reflect on the power of our choices, and how choosing Fairtrade products can help create a better future for the planet and its people.

Through a combination of channels including paid advertising, email campaigns and more, Fairtrade’s annual Fairtrade Fortnight campaign is about reminding shoppers that choosing Fairtrade helps choose the world they want. The ‘Choose the World You Want’ campaign is connecting Australian and New Zealand businesses and shoppers with the opportunities they have in their daily life to be a part of a better future. Throughout the campaign, Fairtrade aims to raise awareness on the connection between global issues (gender, environment, fair pay) and the impact that shoppers/brands can make by choosing Fairtrade.
