Stefan Hörmann, Chief Operations Officer of the Fair Rubber Association, welcomes wdk's membership: "Since 2012, Fair Rubber e.V. has been working to improve working and environmental conditions in the cultivation of natural rubber. Companies and representatives of civil society are involved in our multi-stakeholder initiative to expand fair trade in rubber. We are delighted to welcome the first industry association, wdk, as a supporting member. We will work together to achieve global sustainability goals in the rubber industry."
The aim of Fair Rubber is to help improve the working and living conditions of primary rubber producers by applying the principles of Fair Trade and to support the environmentally friendly production of natural rubber. The most important instrument for this is the awarding of a seal of quality for such products that meet the criteria of fair trade in natural rubber, the Fair Rubber logo.
