THE POWER OF FAIR TRADE

Listen to "Power Project Episode #73: The Power of Fair Trade with Jackie Costello" on Spreaker.

​In Episode #73 I sit down with Jackie Costello, social entrepreneur,
host of The Fairlosophy podcast and founder of The Golden Rule
Boutique.

Jackie shares with us how she stumbled upon companies with transparency through a
documentary while shopping for Christmas. She then went on to create a boutique
that strives to make an impact in the world by making sure workers in the supply chain
are protected with healthy working environments, provided a fair living wage, and are
not forced to do anything against their will.
The 10 Principles of Fair Trade:
1. Create opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers
2. Transparency and Accountability
3. Fair Trading Practices
4. Payment of a Fair Price
5. No Child Labor or Forced Labor
6. Commitment to Non-Discrimination, Gender Equality, and Freedom of
Association
7. Ensure Good working condition
8. Provide Capacity Building
9. Promote Fair Trade
10. Respect for the Environment

She also points out that we can all start to see change in the fashion industry if we
demand the brands and the factories work together to bring about change. Jackie
shared with us how when she realized that she needed to pivot in business, she was
able to create the environment her customers desired.

Jackie has taken everything she learned on her entrepreneurial journey and created a
space for other business builders to join in order to mastermind with on another
and create solutions for each other’s obstacles in business.
