An increasing number of organisations in agricultural supply chains requires data from their trading partners in order to advance their voluntary sustainability commitments and to fulfil their regulatory due diligence and reporting obligations.

To facilitate data sharing between trading partners, Fairtrade is developing a secure digital platform. Fairtrade certified organisations will be able to request access their supply chain partners’ data, as well as grant, decline or revoke access to their own data.

In addition to enabling individual organisations to make decisions about sharing their data, Fairtrade is considering making specific data about Fairtrade certified organisations and products – such as certification performance, producer origin, market destination, and Fairtrade Premium attribution – transparently available to all organisations within the same Fairtrade supply chain.
