World Vision Chief Executive Tim Costello and Oxfam Australia’s Executive Director Andrew Hewett were on hand to congratulate the University of Melbourne on its accreditation as a Fair Trade University.

Accreditation by the Fair Trade Association of Australia and New Zealand (FTAANZ) means the University is committing to support the sale of tea, coffee, chocolate and clothing that’s developed within ethical guidelines. The system works in partnership with farmers to provide fairer prices, better terms of trade and additional funds for business and communities.
