International Resources for Fairer Trade

International Resources for Fairer Trade (IRFT) is a non-profit organisation registered as a Public Charitable Trust under the Bombay Public Charitable Trust Act. It was founded by Kirit Dave and Jan Simmonds in October 1995. IRFT gives farmers and artisans access to mainstream markets worldwide, by partnering with W.F.T.Organizations (in U.K., U.S.A., Netherlands & Germany). Large corporates are encouraged to inculcate social responsibility and ethical working as their core values. IRFT works with both ends of the supply chain by representing the producer as well as the consumer.

IRFT participates in the market economy and works closely with farmers and artisans to develop in them the skills to sell their products. Thus giving them access to a sustainable and stable livelihood. Through its approach towards ethical standards in factories and farms that represent producers, IRFT conducts ethical audits, provides code of conduct trainings and verifier training on remediation and continuous improvement. Some of their leading brand partners are Levi Strauss, Nike, Marks and Spencer, Reebok and Burberry.
