GENERAL

Fair Trade is an organized social movement which promotes standards for international labour, environmentalism, and social policy in areas related to production of Fair Trade labelled and unlabelled goods.

The movement focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries.

Overhex Wines International currently has access to 10 000 tons of Fair Trade Wines and is in the process of registering additional vineyards and cellars for Fair Trade.

Out of a social responsibility point of view Overhex Wines International has decided to focus on the marketing of Fairtrade products and more specifically Fairtrade brands in general.

Producer, Cellar, Exporter and Importer need to be registered before a sale can take place.
