The ‘corporate cause’ phenomenon has entered the supermarket aisles in recent years like never before. There’s a product in just about every category nowadays purporting to better the world or society in some way.

Fairtrade Austrlia and New Zealand seeks to ensure a minimum price and decent working conditions. More than six million people – farmers, producers, workers and their families – in 70 countries benefit from the Fairtrade system.
Susanna Bevilacqua is the organiser of the 2014 Fair Trade Mothers’ Day High Tea. Joining Ben Rylan and Jimmy Bourke, she discusses the many benefits of fair trade and how it has transformed from a niche into mainstream products.
