Good Trade Certification (G4T) focuses on transparency, ethical sourcing, and governance rather than solely environmental criteria. It emphasizes fair value distribution and accountability.
Verification involves documentation review, audits, and stakeholder engagement. Governance structures within organizations support compliance.
G4T’s strength lies in integrating ethics into operational systems. However, effectiveness depends on genuine implementation rather than superficial compliance.
Understanding G4T supports responsible trade positioning and stakeholder trust.
