Third party certifications navigate and filter these practices; however, simple information on what these certifications really mean and how they are applied is not easy to find.  Green Conscience will provide a non-biased independent platform that compiles information of all certifications in one easy-to-use place and sorts products accordingly. This will help consumers make better value-based purchasing decisions and allow businesses to promote their sustainable products and grow with the sustainable consumer. Certifications will be compared across the board based on the seventeen sustainability goals established by the United Nations General Assembly as a global measure to be achieved by 2030. Consumer NZ is a well-trusted popular...

The Fairtrade Mark is the globally recognised label that adorns Fairtrade Certified products. The familiar blue and green logo symbolising a farmer in a field, known as the Fairtrade Mark, is a registered trademark owned by  Fairtrade International (also known as Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International or FLO).

At Fairtrade we work in partnership with these farmers to provide fairer prices, better terms of trade and additional funds for business and community development such as education, healthcare and environmental sustainability . This leads to better working conditions and enhanced investment in quality. For a product to display the Fairtrade Mar...
