Become an exhibitor

Fair Handeln is an exhibition for everyone who is actively committed to globally responsible and sustainable trade and activities. It acts as a marketplace for specialist and general retailers who sell fair trade products, food, textiles, cosmetics, flowers, art, etc. Responsible business management (CSR), sustainable finance, sustainable tourism and development cooperation are also key topics which are presented at Fair Handeln and can be illustrated and discussed in numerous educational events and forum contributions.

Fair Handeln differs from all other current exhibitions in the areas of fair trade and sustainability due to its strict eligibility criteria. It is a binding condition for exhibitors in the fair trade section that they have accepted and implemented the definition by FINE, the international federation of the Fairtrade umbrella organisations (FLO, IFAT, NEWS! and EFTA). Proof of certifications and standards must also be provided (e.g. TransFair, WFTO, GOTS, FWF). Exhibitors in the fair trade section are selected in cooperation with Forum Fairer Handel.

Objectives

The objectives of Fair Handeln are

• to further extend the sales platform for specialist and general retailers so that it acts as an international information and contact exchange
• to create synergy effects and impetus by networking the exhibition areas

Fair Handeln is based on an attractive accompanying programme and educational events for the general public and also acts as an advanced training platform for decision-makers, consumers and media through its special events.
