Sponsoring Globalfest is an effective way to reach a large audience of educated, articulate, and socially conscious consumers, demonstrating that your business is committed to the well-being of people and the planet. Fair trade supports an alternative business model that focuses on a triple bottom line: people, planet, and profit. Let’s work together to grow our consumer outreach and expand business for good, spreading awareness about the fair trade principles of environmental sustainability, ethical production methods, fair wages, and safe working conditions, which are more critical now than ever.
We greatly appreciate your commitment to fair trade and look forward to creating the perfect sponsorship package for you. Please review the sponsorship levels below and email info@chicagofairtrade.org with any questions.
