 FairTradeNet Mission statement

 1. Net Economy

We fully support the producers' efforts toward economic independence and improvement of their social position. Inspired by their example, we have created a network of freelancers from all over the world, to promote freelance work and fair rates for the Net-Workers.

 2. Freelancers

The Freelance FairNetTraders of FairTradeNet adhere to our principles of fair trade and apply the minimum rates set by the Association. They promise professionalism, high quality, timeliness and availability to ensure absolute customer satisfaction.

 3. Client FairNetTraders

The client FairNetTraders of FairTradeNet adhere to the principles of free and fair trade. They promise to apply the minimum rates set by the association and ensure therefore a decent income for freelance workers in the industrialized world as well as in the disadvantaged regions.

 4. FairTradeNet Association

We are a Swiss non-profit association. Our FairNetTraders live and work in different countries, on different continents. We see ourselves as an alternative to commercial sites brokering freelance talent through a bidding system that allows no direct contact, no equal opportunities for all, and applies affiliation fees and commissions on work done that most freelancers are barely able to afford.

 5. Together

We want to set an example to the wider general public, to businesses and to governments, of Fair Trade as a form of business which is based on mutual respect between service provider, trader and consumer, to develop a business proving that Fair Trade is successful.

 FairTradeNet Policy

Our aim is not only to improve the livelihood of disadvantaged people in developing countries. We want to promote the freelancers in the industrialized countries as well. We have joined our forces together to promote both solidarity and mutual cooperation. We believe in an alternative and a more fair way of doing business.

 Services

We offer our services with concern for the social and economic well being of all freelancers by giving them equitable commercial terms, which leads to fair rates.

 Quality

Freelance FairNetTraders are admitted after a quality check. Client FairNetTraders have the ability to review the portfolio of each freelancer before they establish contact.

 North-South divide

The developing and emerging countries' lack of strong economy cannot be overcome. Client FairNetTraders from these countries have access to all freelancers and will benefit from special rates. Freelance FairNetTraders from all over the world will accept lower rates from these clients. Client FairNetTraders from strong currency economies are ready to pay the higher rates to all freelancers, irrespective of their country of residence, because they believe in sharing.

 Transparency

We openly share financial information, management policies, marketing and development program plans and statistical data on a regular basis.

Join us to make this world a better place.
In a small way.
