PATAGONIA pays a premium for every PATAGONIA product that is marked with a Fair Trade Certified™️ label. This money goes directly to the workers who freely decide how it is used. In this program, there is no top-down determination. In every factory there is a democratically elected Fair Trade workers' committee that decides how the money is used.
The premiums were used to finance community projects, such as health care and a day care center for children. Products were purchased that the workers could not otherwise have afforded, such as laptops or stoves; or cash payments were made directly to the workers. But that is not all. The program also promotes workers' health and safety, social and environmental measures, and dialogue between workers and management.
