We are guided by the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out by the United Nations. Particularly close to our hearts are the fight against poverty and hunger, clean water, good healthcare and education, gender equality, responsible consumption, climate action, and the protection of life below and on land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How do we put this into practice? For example, through our certification partners and their independent audits: the Fairtrade mark guarantees our producers a fair price plus a premium, which must be used to improve their living conditions. In 2014, FAIR SQUARED was one of the first cosmetics companies worldwide to be awarded the Fairtrade mark. Our Fairtrade ingredients come from Fairtrade-certified producers who meet the Fairtrade standards, including requirements for better prices and working conditions (more info: <a href=\"https:\/\/info.fairtrade.net\/sourcing\">info.fairtrade.net\/sourcing<\/a>). As natural rubber is not included among Fairtrade raw materials, we are also a founding member of Fair Rubber e.V. (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fairrubber.org\/\">www.fairrubber.org<\/a>) \u2013 ensuring that our condoms and menstrual cups are also fairly traded. Our trips to visit our Fairtrade partners are among the most wonderful moments of our work \u2013 exciting, warm and full of good humour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The majority of our products carry the Vegan Society seal (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vegansociety.com\/\">www.vegansociety.com<\/a>): free from animal-derived ingredients. And because the majority of our products are also halal-certified, FAIR SQUARED is equally a good choice for Muslim people \u2013 tested and certified by the Islamic Centre in Aachen, which has inspected our production for cross-contamination and animal-derived ingredients. We are also a member of ICADA (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.icada.eu\/\">www.icada.eu<\/a>), the International Certification Association for Sustainable Cosmetic and Care Products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WE RELY ON THE POWER OF NATURE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We rely on the power of nature: our entire range consists of natural cosmetics, completely free from genetically modified substances, microplastics, palm oil, mineral oils or petrochemicals. And we have been FSC-certified for many years (licence number FSC-C137581). The seal stands for responsible forest management and mainly applies to our natural rubber products<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>PLASTIC AD\u00c9 &#8211; THE FUTURE IS ZERO WASTE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to climate protection, we recognised the plastic problem early on and took action: we are probably among the first companies worldwide to have introduced a reusable cosmetics system many years ago \u2013 in 2025, this was even recognised at the German Pavilion at the Expo in Osaka. FAIR SQUARED is available exclusively in glass containers; the only thing we\u2019re still missing is a practical alternative to plastic for the pump mechanisms. We\u2019re working on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fair trade practices and environmental responsibility are just as much a part of our core principles. What else defines FAIR SQUARED? A multicultural, dedicated team that takes great pleasure in working to make the world just a little bit better. Discrimination \u2013 whether sexism, racism, homophobia or ableism \u2013 has no place here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>refreshingly fairstainable \u2013 discover FAIR SQUARED FAIR TO PEOPLE, THE ENVIRONMENT AND NATURE Fair trade is our passion \u2013 but above all, we simply enjoy developing new products together with our partners.
