Established under the Bombay Public Trust Act in 1995, IRFT - International Resources for Fairer Trade, for the last 21 years, has been working relentlessly towards the cause of 'fairness to all' along the supply chain

On the basic platform of 'fairness in trade', IRFT operates from three verticals.

Ethical Business Services engages with the global brands and corporates retail giants to help them comply with Decent Work standards, and to ensure Respect to the workforce in fields, farm and factories.

Fair Trade Support: The vision and mission of IRFT sees relevance in the global expectation of 'fairness to all' with the heart-warming wave of consumer awareness, that demands all goods produced are 'clean, and in no way exploitative. The discerning consumer demands transparency, traceability and respect to man & environment above all. Thus, protecting the rights of the producer to be given his fair share.

This DICE represents the 'right to fairness'

'Every human aspires for the best in life, and this can be achieved if his 'right to fairness', is RESPECTED.
