About Us:
The FairChain Foundation uses cutting-edge technologies to facilitate inclusive business models and shared value chains. Because when you give developing countries the right knowledge, skills and technologies, you empower them to produce and package the commodities they farm. You give them the power of profit.
Over the centuries, multinationals have discovered the art of selling premium products at colossal profits. The majority of their products are made from valuable commodities sourced at rock-bottom prices in developing countries. This system of buying low and selling high has created an enormous power imbalance, making it virtually impossible for developing economies to grow. Even countries blessed with valuable commodities like coffee, cocoa and tea have no prospect of ever catching up. Development aid attempts to compensate for this imbalance, with the negative side effect that it actually masks the problem.
We believe that with the rise of new (transparent) technologies, open-minded companies and vocal global consumers, the time has come to change all that. The stars are aligned, so to say, to bring an end to unfair trade. Tomorrow’s economies will be driven by inclusive business models that combine entrepreneurial competitiveness and social impact.
That’s why we created the FairChain Foundation. FairChain is a proven value chain shifter. With FairChain, businesses have a roadmap whose end goal is to leave behind up to 50% of the value in the countries of origin. All by paying a fair price for the commodities that company need to survive.
