Fair Trade, Certified B and More: The 3rd Party Labels You Need to Know

Fair Trade, Certified B and More: The 3rd Party Labels You Need to Know

Ever wonder what the Fair Trade label on products really means? On this episode of The Sustainable Minimalists podcast: the down-low on 3rd party certifications, including Fair Trade, Ceritified B Corp, MADE SAFE, and more.


Fair Trade, Certified B and More

 

Ever wonder what the Fair Trade label on products *really* means? How about that elusive Certified B Corp distinction?

“All-natural”, “fat-free”, and “non-toxic” are blanket marketing statements that have no real meaning. But third party certifications? Their distinct logos distinguish the best from the rest.

Yet while certifications are meant to give consumers confidence, it can be difficult to understand what all the different labels stand for.

On today’s show I break down the differences between products that are MADE SAFE® and GOTS certified. I demystify the Certified B Corporation label, too, before bringing you an interview with podcaster, marketing professional, and Fair Trade expert Liza Moiseeva.

Enjoy!
