London Borough of Redbridge LBR Logo

Fairtrade in Redbridge has been a consumer/citizen-driven movement and in adopting the resolution, the Council's key role continues to be one of providing social leadership and supporting local residents working to achieve Fairtrade recognition for the Borough. Resolution underlines it will:

  • Promote awareness of Fairtrade issues and make publicity and educational information available to Council employees, businesses, voluntary organisations, schools and local people, through the Council's own publications and through its various partnerships, concerning the worldwide impact of unfair trade and the opportunities that fair trade provides to promote sustainable development.

  • Review existing purchasing policies, and those of its suppliers and contractors, with a view to making a commitment to use fairly traded products, such as those carrying the Fairtrade mark, where appropriate and where they represent value for money.

  • Allocate responsibility to an officer for the implementation of Fairtrade and the attainment of Fairtrade status for the Borough in partnership with the local Fairtrade organisation.

Council Members and staff are also consumers and in passing its resolution, the Council has agreed to use a number of fairly traded products.

Redbridge Strategic Partnership RSP Logo
Over 100 organisations are part of the RSP (Redbridge Strategic Partnership) covering a core group and seven cluster groups (Health, Culture and Learning, Safer Communities, Business, Environment, Children and Young People and Olympics). These different parts of the public sector, as well as private, business, community and voluntary sectors, work to support each other and work together. It is a non-statutory, non-executive organisation that operates at a level where strategic decisions can be taken and is close enough to individual neighbourhoods to allow actions to be determined at community level. The RSP has led on the development and publication of the Community Strategy and Local Area Agreement, which acts as the delivery plan for the Community Strategy. The RSP endorsed Fairtrade in 2005.
