Podcasts about Fair trade

Wusstest ihr, dass regionale Rosen nur im Juni eine bessere CO2-Bilanz haben als Importware aus Ostafrika? In diesem Gespräch mit Claudia Brück von Fairtrade Deutschland erörtern wir die Bedeutung von Fairtrade in der Blumenindustrie. Wir diskutieren, welche Vorteile Fairtrade-Rosen bieten, welche Kritik es an ihnen gibt & wie Fairtrade soziale & ökologische Standards fördert. Claudia teilt ihre Erfahrungen & Einsichten über die Herausforderungen, denen sich die Blumenindustrie gegenübersieht, insbesondere in Bezug auf Arbeitsbedingungen & Geschlechtergerechtigkeit. Zudem wird die Rolle der Verbraucher:innen & der Politik in der Förderung von Fairtrade-Produkten hervorgehoben.

Kippenvlees CO₂: 4,4 kg per kilo4. Geitenkaas CO₂: 7,6 kg per kilo3. Koeienkaas – CO₂: 10,2 kg per kilo2. Varkensvlees – CO₂: 11,8 kg per kilo1. Rundvlees De ‘klimaatkiller' met CO₂: 26 kg per kiloVuistregel: Wil je je ecologische voetafdruk verkleinen? Kies dan voor minder vlees en kaasAls je vlees eet, ga voor kip in plaats van rund of varken. En ga voor minder!Kies plantaardig: Noten, peulvruchten en tofu zijn betere eiwitbronnen.Fairtrade en bio: Als je dierlijke producten koopt, ga voor fairtrade of biologisch. Het is duurder, maar beter voor mens en milieu.B12: Als je veganistisch eet, slik dan B12 bij. Je lichaam heeft het nodig!Conclusie: Als je het klimaat een plezier wilt doen, is minder vlees eten een goed begin. En als je toch vlees eet, kies dan voor kip – want een koe is gewoon drama op je bord en voor de planeet.AFSLUITING:…Music from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/infraction/funky-dayLicense code: NAOCXBTWDJEMUKSIMusic from #Uppbeathttps://uppbeat.io/t/oliver-massa/bring-the-funkLicense code: PJYS7MXPJDZD8UFX#groenemafkezen #groenepodcast #duurzamepodcast #duurzaamleven #duurzaamdilemma #milieu #plantaardig #duurzaamheid #klimaat #klimaatverandering #klimaatcrisis #veganistischeten #duurzamekeuzes

In this resurfaced 2019 conversation, Ryan Honeyman speaks with Vincent Stanley, Director of Philosophy at Patagonia, about what it really takes to operationalize values at scale. The discussion covers KPIs, pricing, materials, fair trade labor, transparency, repair, and the internal systems Patagonia uses to stay accountable as it grows. Vincent also explains how Patagonia's benefit corporation structure, reporting tools, and employee practices translate purpose into day-to-day decisions.View the show notes: https://go.lifteconomy.com/blog/patagonia-case-study-4-of-4-operationsCertifying as a B Corp is only the beginning.

Gage shares his best practices for attending Natural Products Expo West – the biggest trade show in the United States for the better-for-the-world product industry! Tune in to hear 10 tips for making the most of the show, based on Gage's ~15 years of experience attending Expo West as a brand, packaging, booth, and campaign designer who's helped some of the industry most beloved brands stand out at the show. Tune into the episode or read below for his top tips! You can also download a copy here for easy reference later. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBpd7dVhxB-30-yPrvQ8Mn8nAar5oYOUx6fX1B3Wevc/edit?usp=sharing. See you at Expo West!1. Define Your Target ROIHave a clear goal and outcomes in mind because the event is what you make it.Rightsize your investment. There's no shame in starting small, like a shared booth, table at StartUp CPG, sampling out of a backpack, etc. Even big brands need to be cautious of their spending because it adds up fast. But if you want to make a big splash, be willing to spend the money on the right opportunity.Aim to have your agenda 60% planned, but 40% flexible, because you never know who might pop up with some exciting and unexpected.2. Plan AheadBook your accommodations early, because everything near the Convention Center fills up quickly and gets very expensive.Find the sessions you want to attend, people you want to meet, and booths you want to visit through the app and social media posts, but also decide what's non-negotiable and what's optional for you, because you will get exhausted/overwhelmed.Make dinner reservations, book event venues, and meeting rooms in advance because there are a ton of competing groups looking for limited time slots.Order all your materials, swag, outfits, etc., well ahead of time because shipping delays happen, and you don't want to be caught empty-handed or paying the steep price to rush reprint in Anaheim.3. Be Clear & CompellingHave your 5-second pitch and main talking points ready, because there are way too many people and not enough time to stumble or be vague.Bring the energy, passion, and vibes because that attracts people to your booth, lifts everyone's spirits, and makes you memorable.Ask lots of questions to get to know people and how you can help each other. It can reveal incredibly powerful information for you both.4. Crush Your BoothMake sure it's clear what you're selling and what makes it special, otherwise your booth is likely to be missed (unless you're drawing attention, see below).Be unique but authentic, have a compelling story or theme for the show, and be engaging and fun as people walk up.Have events or activities at your booth that attract a crowd, and bring enough samples/goodies to go around. Tip: people are drawn to anything that's more than a tiny bite on a toothpick or a generic tote bag.Have a method for politely exiting conversations, like handing them off to an associate or introducing them to another guest, so you can be available when that critical retailer, investor, broker, or press badge arrives.5. Draw AttentionApply for a Nexty, participate in the Pitch Slam, or partner on an innovation with another popular brand. Do things that will make you more visible.Send out press releases, make announcements on social media, and offer the press a unique and exciting story to draw them to your booth.Invite an industry rockstar or celebrity to your booth for a meet and greet.Host a happy hour with a prominent group, like B Corp.6. Connect With Your CommunityAttend events hosted by your membership communities (B Corp, 1% for the Planet, Regenerative Organic, Upcycled, Non-GMO, Fair Trade, Climate Neutral, Climate Collaborative, Naturally Network, Purpose Pledge, Startup CPG, Project Potluck, :INCLUDED, etc.)Post updates in your preferred social channel (pictures, top finds, great insights, events, selfies, etc), tag people, and comment on others' posts! Wear your affiliations (shirts, hats, pins, stickers, lanyards, badges, etc).7. Take Care of YourselfHydrate and eat real food, or at least snack your way to well-balanced meals or your stomach and energy levels will regret it later.Dress comfortably and in layers. You'll be walking a lot, in and out of buildings, and the weather can change quickly. Bonus: dress memorably.Rest your feet and your back whenever you can. They will be sore.Get full nights of sleep when you can, and take some downtime in between things to recharge your batteries and brain.8. Be Brave, Be ActiveMeet people! That's why you're going. Don't just hide in your hotel, your booth, or in your co-worker/friend group. Get out there.Attend happy hours, events, and dinners even if you worked the booth all day, because that's the time to make real human connections.Go talk to that hero, buyer, investor, press, celebrity, etc because that's why they're here, and why you're here.9. Don't Try to Do it AllThe show is way too big to see every booth. Decide what's most important. It can help to pick a theme to focus, like a category, certification, stage of business, etc.There are too many sessions, events, and happy hours. Pick a focus and try to limit your FOMO. Divide and conquer with your team if you can.If you've been going as long as I have, you'll wish you could spend time with all your friends, collaborators, clients, podcast guests, and more… but it's best to be at peace with what you can do instead of worrying about what you can't.10. Follow Through Take notes on business cards, in an app, or wherever works for you because you won't remember every conversation, idea, or to-do item.Digest what you learned, who you met, and how you want to follow up each evening before that information gets too foggy.Make social posts each day, because you'll be too burned out and busy to catch up on social media after the show.Follow up with people during and after the show to solidify that new connection.Links:Natural Products Expo West: https://www.expowest.com/en/home.html10 Tips to Crush Expo West Download: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBpd7dVhxB-30-yPrvQ8Mn8nAar5oYOUx6fX1B3Wevc/edit?usp=sharing.

Those opposing our FTA with India have got be guilty of economic treason, don't they? We're a small trading nation with lots of food, and world markets who need our red meat and our milk. The closer the country, the better. The higher-value-add, the better. And the sugar on top is tariff-free access, so our competitive advantaged producing the world best dairy and sheep and beef, and Kiwifruit, can all me admired and loved by the word at a reasonable price. When Helen Clark and Phil Goff signed the deal in Beijing back in 2007, two-way trade was $8. It's now $41-billion. It's now our largest trading partner. We are on the cusp of another bonanza just like with a country much bigger and meddle class about the crack on. It's to come the third largest economy in the world. However, some kiwi politicians believe this is somehow a bad thing. That selling our best produces to other countries at cheaper prices, unencumbered another' tax regime, how is that not a good idea? Why because we may have take an 1700 Indians on working visas coming here? So what. They work hard, they hussle. They don't piss around fishing at the beach or sitting on the couch when they should be working. Migrants do the jobs iwi's feel they're too posh to do in society. It's hard work. Honest work. And it needs to be done. Why not let people who want to work, work. And you don't, you don't get anything. Fish till your hearts content. But this country should be filled with ambitious people who want to make the most of it. That's what FTAs do and I can't understand people don't it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What if we could recycle just half of the plastic currently going to landfills?The answer: 173,000 new jobs, nearly $50 billion in economic output, and a stronger American manufacturing base.In this episode of Sustainably Speaking, host Mia Quinn welcomes back Ross Eisenberg, president of America's Plastic Makers, for a wide-ranging conversation on why recycling is no longer just an environmental issue—it's an economic and manufacturing opportunity hiding in plain sight.Ross highlights what's actually working in recycling today, from large-scale facilities turning plastic  into new products to advanced technologies that can recover materials once thought to be unrecyclable. He explains why the idea that “recycling doesn't work” is one of the biggest myths holding back progress.The conversation also tackles the policy choices shaping the future of recycling, including:Why flexible, technology-neutral policies matter more than one-size-fits-all mandatesHow mass balance works (and why it's similar to Fair Trade coffee)What states are getting right—and wrong—on Extended Producer ResponsibilityWhy a federal definition of advanced recycling as manufacturing could unlock investment nationwideLooking ahead, Ross shares what success could look like, from scaling U.S. recycling infrastructure to reaching a global plastics agreement that expands access to waste management for billions of people worldwide.And yes, there's some fun along the way…from K-pop playlists to shark diving and guilty-pleasure reality TV.

Patagonia has long stood as the north star for companies striving to create meaningful impact and proving that business can thrive with purpose. Today, Patagonia stands alone in its ownership model: it has one shareholder—the planet. Instead of “going public,” Patagonia famously “went purpose,” restructuring in 2022 so that 100% of its voting stock flows into the Patagonia Purpose Trust to guard its values, and 100% of its non-voting stock now supports the Holdfast Collective, a nonprofit fighting the environmental crisis. Each year, every dollar not needed to run the business moves directly to protecting nature. It's a business that invites people into the beauty of the outdoors while safeguarding the planet that makes those adventures possible.We invited Vincent Stanley, Director of Philosophy at Patagonia—and one of its very first employees—to reflect on the decades of learning, experimentation, humility, and courage that shaped Patagonia's journey. Vincent explores topics from the company's early fiber-to-farm revelations and culture-defining philosophy classes, to its iconic “Don't Buy This Jacket” campaign, industry-shaping activism, and bold ownership redesign. For any leader or organization seeking to deepen its impact, Vincent offers rare insights into what it truly takes to build a business where profit becomes a byproduct of purpose.Listen for insights on:Transforming harm discovery into long-term environmental innovationChallenging consumerism through bold, values-led storytellingBuilding company culture through shared responsibility and lived valuesCollaborating across industries to advance standards and certificationsResources + Links:Watch this episode on YouTubeVincent StanleyPatagonia's OwnershipThe Responsible CompanyPatagonia Action Works (00:00) - Welcome to Purpose 360 (01:07) - Meet Vincent Stanley, Patagonia (04:26) - Vincent's Background (07:55) - Director of Philosophy (10:37) - Company Ethos (11:57) - If Nature Could Talk (13:15) - Pivot Points (15:58) - Seeing the Fields (17:32) - Role as Storyteller (21:10) - Black Friday (24:50) - Quality Is an Environmental Issue (27:03) - Fair Trade and Culture (31:12) - Showing Authenticity (32:45) - Patagonia Action Works (33:42) - Change in Ownership (36:32) - Feelings at the Time (37:22) - Message to Future Leaders (39:40) - Last Words (41:07) - Wrap Up

2025 Theme: “Community Engagement & the Grassroots of Change.” Throughout the year we have explored stories, strategies, and successes of community-driven movements making a difference. In our last show for 2025 we recap the year with our most inspiring episodes and introduce the theme for 2026. Throughout 2025 we have stimulating discussions between Anita, Mavis, and Gail. We have also had an awe-inspiring group of guests, handpicked to reflect the theme of community engagement and the grassroots of change. We honor our guests and the works they have done and continue to do in the name of transformation, empowerment, engagement across the multiple sectors of our society.Is It Possible to Build Trust in Community-Police Relations? Conversation with Shadae McDaniel Senior Vice President/Programs and Strategic Initiatives/Director, All Stars Project (ASP) of New Jersey.  Beginning in February we hosted an in-depth exploration of the All Stars-Project and its signature program "Operation Conversation Cops and Kids." Among many accolades, Shadae was ranked among the ROI-NJ “2023 Influencers: People of Color." NJUrbanNews.com Article: “Shadae McDaniel Builds Bridges, Provides Opportunities for Youth Through the Power of Performance.” Founded in 1981, All Stars Project (ASP) is a 501(c)3 national nonprofit that uses a performance-based approach to help tens of thousands of inner-city youths and their families create success in their lives. Operation Conversation: Cops & Kids (OCCK) is an innovative police–community relations model program run by ASP in partnership with the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and the Newark Police Division (NPD). This award-winning program uses performance, improvisation, and conversation to help inner-city teenagers and police officers build trust and improve their relationship.Until We Are All Free Movement, a human rights organization led by formerly incarcerated criminal justice experts. In March our case study focused on the Until We Are All Free Movement with guest Kevin Reese, Co-Founder/Co-Executive Director of UWAAF and Co-Founder/CEO of Until We Are All Free Consulting Group.Question: God, what is it that you're working on in my life? What do you do when the answer is build a bridge of people and be a bridge through and with people? Kevin is the answer. Kevin grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He spent 14 years incarcerated inside of the criminal justice system. During that time, he founded the BRIDGE, a grassroots group of directly impacted criminal justice experts whose mission is to abolish mass incarceration and to find a path to true transformative criminal justice. Kevin says,“My idea was to create a program that builds a bridge between people like me, mostly men in prison but women, too, and the community. That bridge and this work is actually revolutionary. Because I'm not supposed to be able to make a connection to people on the outside. Prison is all about preventing that. But the BRIDGE partnership we've been working on gives light to an entire caste of people who are incarcerated.”Youth Empowerment Services, of Pittsburgh PA: “Ahead of its time and punching above its weight, Youth Enrichment Services (YES) formed in 1994...The heart of YES is a spirit of mentorship...By leveraging their unique skills and abilities and centering their voices, YES has created a formula for success that influences community growth, economic prosperity, and student-driven leadership." In our case study of the YES organization we invited Denise Jones, Educational Consultant at Youth Enrichment Services into the studio. Denise Jones is the daughter of two passion-driven educators. She attended Allegheny College, majored in Economics and minored in Black Studies. Later Denise applied for Teach for America and came to understand the joys and limitations of teaching, particularly in bureaucratic systems. Eventually she agreed to work at her father's community-based non-profit organization, Youth Enrichment Services (YES), to help young people become their own best resource. She is now pursuing a PhD in education and psychology from the University of Michigan.Ujamaa Collective, Pittsburgh PA: A Unique Cultural Enriching Experience! Ujamaa Collective is a 501(c)3 non-profit artisan boutique. We (Anita is a member!) serve Africana women providing cultural, artistic, and entrepreneurial exchange in the historic Hill District of Pittsburgh. Our passion for cooperatives is rooted in our values of Fair Trade, meaningful work, creativity, community, and wellness. Two  Sisters from the Ujamaa Collective shared their wisdom, community engagement practice, and the cooperation with our audiences — Lakeisha Wolf, Executive Director, and Alana Griffin, Ambassador. LaKeisha is a cultural worker, creative entrepreneur, and teaching artist with an emphasis on identity, racial justice, community connection, and whole-body wellness. She is a founding member of the Ujamaa Collective and has served as Executive Director since 2013. Alana lives out the organization's mission to empower Africana women through cooperative economics, cultural expression, and community healing. Economic Sovereignty in Burkina Faso: From Thomas Sankara to Ibrahim Traoré | Guest: Leontine Osuagwu. In this episode we dig into the role of sovereign psyche in leadership, particularly in the African nation of Burkina Faso under the past leadership of Thomas Sankara (1949-1987) and current leader, President Ibrahim Traoré.  The home country of our guest, Leontine Osuagwu, is Burkina Faso. With over 20 years of leadership experience across corporate, nonprofit, for-profit sectors, she helps leaders cultivate the mindset, strategy, and emotional intelligence to lead with excellence in creating sustainable impact. She's brings honor and soulful insight into the events unfolding in her home country.Mental Health, NAEP and Coach Bradley: A Unique Blend of Mentorship, Empathy, and Strategic Insight In His Work as a Transitional Life Coach. Coach Bradley specializes in guiding adolescents through the transition from high school to adulthood while also supporting adults navigating career changes and life pivots. Ed integrates emotional intelligence, active listening, and values-based goal setting to create a safe, supportive coaching environment. Whether preparing students for life's next step or helping adults embrace new opportunities, Ed equips people to create lasting, meaningful change. In a second episode featuring Coach Bradley he provided an understanding of NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress), explaining its purpose and how it differs from state tests, and the role it plays in systemic racism, accountability, and test-based reforms in education.Case Study ShiftWorks Community+Public Works | Guest: Sallyanne Kluz, Executive Director. Sallyann Kluz is a Pittsburgh-based arts administrator, architect, and urban designer whose practice is situated at the intersection of art and community development. Her practice includes public art programs and strategies, community engagement, design education, public space design, and neighborhood development strategies. In her leadership role, Sallyann is focused on providing technical assistance to artists and clients, and expanding the role of artists in community development, civic design, and community engagement.Why Community and Public Arts? Sally led us into a meaningful discussion pondering this question. The short answer is this: "Shiftworks Community+Public Arts envisions a region in which the creative practices of artists are fully engaged to collaboratively shape the public realm and catalyze community-led change." The work is designed to expand the range of possibilities for artists to engage communities. We applaud our guests who have made this year meaningful, insightful, and engaging!

Chinese President Xi Jinping calls on China and Ireland to maintain friendly exchanges, enhance understanding, and address each other's major concerns (01:05).

New year, new purpose. In this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, host Shemaiah Reed interviews Julie Calabro Bellingham, founder of Deux Mains—a humanitarian entrepreneur who turned the 2010 Haiti earthquake response into a global, Fairtrade-verified luxury brand. Julie shares the moment that changed everything—“I don't want money, I need a job”—and how it sparked a 16-year mission built on dignity through work, not charity.They unpack how Deux Mains became the only woman-owned, solar-powered leather goods factory in Haiti, what it takes to build sustainable manufacturing, why listening is a leadership superpower, and how partnerships with Nordstrom and more are expanding the brand's impact. Julie also previews big 2026 goals—including a potential flagship store—and the deeper vision: economic freedom and opportunity for Haiti.https://deuxmains.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time.

Taylor Riggs discusses the ongoing Minnesota fraud scandal, criticizing government mismanagement and waste while highlighting Trump's actions to cut funding until accountability is achieved. She emphasizes the importance of fair trade policies, the impact of supply-side economics on the working class, and the dangers of over-reliance on government support. Riggs also notes the broader political implications for the midterms and stresses that keeping public attention on these issues is crucial for reform. The conversation concludes with light-hearted New Year's Eve plans and family reflections.

Esel: Sag mal, Teddy, wollen wir das Thema heute wirklich noch aufmachen? Mir ist das ehrlich gesagt Banane. Teddy: Jetzt spiel nicht das sortierte Studentenfutter. Hier geht's um B12, da kann man nicht einfach so tun, als wäre nichts. Esel: Na gut, aber eins sag ich dir gleich: Alles hat ein Ende, und wenn wir hier nicht aufpassen, drehen wir uns im Kreis wie ne Spiralkartoffel. Teddy: Möglich. Trotzdem solltest du nicht gleich eine Extraportion Mandeldrink verlangen, nur weil dir der erste Gedanke nicht schmeckt. Esel: Ach komm, sonst heißt es wieder Rache ist Nuss, und am Ende mache ich dich noch zur Falafel. Teddy: Das würde ich an deiner Stelle lassen. Du versuchst dich hier doch gerade nur durchs Sojahack zu mogeln. Esel: Mag sein. Aber ich sehe schon wieder deine Gurkentaktik: erst kleine Scheiben, dann plötzlich das große Ganze. Teddy: Wenn du so weitermachst, fange ich an, die Durian zu riechen. Irgendwas stinkt doch hier. Esel: Jetzt laber mir nicht Datteln ans Ohr. Du wohnst doch gedanklich sowieso schon im Tempura-Ring. Teddy: Besser als ständig drum herumzureden. Also: ran an die Fritten! Esel: Moment, bevor wir loslegen, sollten wir die Sache vielleicht noch wie Tofu auspressen und alles rausholen, was drinsteckt. Teddy: Einverstanden. Aber danach ist wirklich Schluss. Mir ist das dann wieder völlig Banane. Esel: Abgemacht. Und wenn nicht, weißt du ja: Rache ist Nuss. Danke für die Idee, germanwithsammy! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQ5DJoJjrG5/

A recent survey by Fairtrade, with research undertaken by Kantar, finds 86% of shoppers want brands to be upfront about sourcing and more than half (55%) think businesses should take a ‘large amount' or ‘full responsibility' for protecting the human rights of workers in their supply chains.The study found that 59% of UK adults support Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence (HREDD) legislation, while just 9% oppose it, showing strong public backing for government action and responsible business practices.Sustainability and purpose matter in communications. They help you build trust and credibility, they help you attract and retain talent and they help you drive innovation in green technologies. In a special PRmoment podcast, inspired by the final deadline for the Sustainability and Purpose Awards we're chatting to The Fairtrade Organisation's Martine Parry about its Fairtrade Fortnight Research and its implications for communicators.Before we start a reminder that PRmoment's Sustainability & Purpose Awards final entry deadline is on Wednesday 15th October.

Our faith journeys can be filled with ups and downs as well as drastic turns and re-turns. Host Robin Linkhart sits down with Jason Smith, a 48-year-old IT professional from Duncan, Oklahoma, who shares his faith journey from Southern Baptist to Community of Christ. Having become fascinated with Mormonism at 15, Jason tells of his engagement in anti-Mormon evangelism out of a love for the people rather than a hatred.
