Lodged by Colin Smyth Standard Motion 36 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes that 25 February 2023 marked 10 years since Scotland achieved Fair Trade Nation status, recognising the commitment across different parts of Scottish society to promoting Fair Trade values, campaigning, purchasing and practices; understands that Scotland’s Fair Trade Nation status was renewed in 2017 and is due to undergo another reassessment starting later in 2023; congratulates Fair Trade campaigners, businesses and supporters across Scotland along with the national network organisation, the Scottish Fair Trade Forum, for contributing to the achievement and maintenance of the status; recognises the continued commitment of Fair Trade campaigners, businesses and supporters across Scotland; believes that, while much has been achieved by Fair Trade, much of global trade and business is still done unfairly, and resolves to recommit to supporting the Fair Trade Nation campaign to contribute to creating a Fair Trade future for people and planet.
