Make Scotland a Sporting Fairtrade Nation
The motion
That the Parliament notes that Fairtrade Fortnight runs from 24 February until 8 March 2020; further notes that Scotland is a Fairtrade nation; is aware that each year the public sector, including the Scottish Government, local authorities and associated leisure trusts, purchase many thousands of sports balls and that very few of these are produced by Fairtrade suppliers; calls on sports governing bodies to consider the impact of their procurement and sponsorship policies on the lives of sports ball producers across the world and to consider changing to Fairtrade, and further calls on the Scottish Government to work with local authorities and others to determine what barriers there are to the procurement of Fairtrade sports balls and ensure that Scotland is a Fairtrade nation on the sports field as well as any other field.
