FAIR RUBBER – MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE
The Fair Rubber Association campaigns for better working conditions as well as social and ecological improvements in rubber cultivation.
To achieve this, Fair Rubber has established a cultivation standard and supports smallholders and tappers by paying a premium of €0.50 per kilo of dry rubber.
The Fair Rubber premium benefits the people who tap or grow the raw material and who meet the Fair Rubber Standard. They decide for themselves how to use the premium money – to improve living and working conditions and their farming methods.
The association brings together companies that use rubber, civil society organisations (NGOs) and individuals who wish to drive improvements in the rubber sector.
