Fair Play for

Fair Trade 09
Sponsor Brief
Fair Play for Fair T
Elevyn is a social enterprise that enables marginalized and
indigenous communities to sell their craft online at www.
elevyn.com. This online platform supports Fair Trade principles - artisans
will receive a fair price for their products, proceeds are dedicated
to eliminating poverty and improving the quality of life of the local
community.

Elevyn has been recognized on an international level for its efforts in


empowering communities through trade. It is the only Malaysian fellow
for the Youth Social Entreprise Initiative 2008 (YSEI). It is also used as
an exemplary model for the Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) ‘Senang
dengan ICT’ campaign.

Why Fair Play for Fair Trade?


‘Fair trade’ has gained widespread awareness in UK and Europe where socially-conscious shoppers look out for
‘Fair Trade’ branded items in making their purchasing decisions. In Malaysia, however, Fair Trade is still not a
very well-understood term. We want to use a fun sport like futsal as a platform to bring people together and
spread awareness about fair trade. The event would, of course, also raise funds for the artisans in poverty.

What is Fair Trade?


“Fair Trade is a trading partnership based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity in
international trade. It contributes to sustainable development by offering better trading conditions to, and
securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers - especially in the South.”

Definition by FINE an informal Association of the four main Fair Trade networks (Fairtrade Labelling
Organizations International, International Fair Trade Association, Network of European Worldshops and
European Fair Trade Association):

Join us in support of fair trade for workers and artisans worldwide for a better tomorrow.
