FairTrade – The Social Power of Business

At YIMUKA, FairTrade represents more than just trade – it's a pathway to effecting sustainable changes in the world. In the lead-up to Christmas, we often think about gifts and donations. However, we at YIMUKA believe that the greatest gift is one that brings about lasting change. Our FairTrade certification by the World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) in August was a significant step towards our goal of providing help for self-help – not just during the holiday season but throughout the entire year.

FairTrade is more than just an ethical approach; it's a business model that creates real job perspectives and strengthens communities. Take Benjamin as an example: By selling 3 kg of our FairTrade-certified Shea Butter, he earns a day's income, enabling a stable life for him and his family and contributing to the development of his community.

Thus, the Christmas season is also a good time to reflect on the long-term impact of our business decisions. How can we, through our daily business activities and consumer behavior, foster sustainable and positive changes in the world?
