In a world where inequality persists and millions continue to live in poverty, Oxfam stands as a beacon of hope. With a mission to fight against inequality and promote a just economy that respects human rights and our planet, Oxfam strives to end poverty and injustice both now and in the long term. This global movement envisions a future where everyone has equal opportunities to live life to the fullest. The future is equal.
Tackling Inequality at Its Core:
Oxfam’s mission is to tackle the root causes of poverty and inequality.
To strive for a world that is just and sustainable. A world in which people and planet are at the center of just economies. A world in which women and girls live free from gender-based violence and discrimination. Where the climate crisis is contained, and inclusive and accountable governance systems allow for those in power to be held to account.
Oxfam is working across regions in 85 countries, with thousands of partners and allies, supporting communities to build better lives for themselves, build resilience and protect lives and livelihoods also in times of crisis. Because they want lasting solutions, they fight the inequalities that keep people locked in poverty and injustice – and campaign for genuine, durable change.
Oxfam’s diverse and far-reaching activities, such as sustainable consumption with Oxfam Fair Trade, are designed to ensure comprehensive support and advocacy for those in need.
Towards a 100% Organic Assortment and Sustainable Packaging in All Its Forms
For over 50 trailblazing years, Oxfam has led the charge in fair trade, surpassing mere labels to secure living incomes for producers while championing human rights and environmental stewardship across trade chains. Their groundbreaking partnership with cooperative CPR Canaan for example, which offers farmers an additional premium to bridge the gap to a sustainable income, epitomizes Oxfam’s unwavering dedication.
Oxfam Fair Trade is passionately advancing organic products, with more than half of their offerings already certified organic, including two-thirds of their coffee selection. From delectable chocolates to fine wines, refreshing soft drinks to wholesome honey and couscous, every Oxfam product contributes to sustainability and fair trade principles. Their ambition? A complete transition to an all-organic lineup, ensuring every item upholds these vital standards.
In their relentless pursuit of environmental stewardship, Oxfam doesn’t just reduce CO2 emissions; they bolster biodiversity, promote sustainable water use, and enhance water retention through collaborative projects with key trade partners. Their message is clear: let’s not settle for less ambition, but strive for greater scrutiny and impact in every initiative we undertake.
Love Tomorrow 2024: Spreading the Message of Equality
This year, Oxfam is set to shine at Love Tomorrow 2024, featuring inspiring speeches by Oxfam ambassadors Eva Smets and former WFTO, or World Fair Trade Organization, Chief Executive Erinch Sahan. Smets will share her unique insights on Belgium’s opportunities and examples, aligning with the doughnut economics philosophy. She will delve into her book “Kantelen,” a captivating exploration of three crucial pillars for the future: economy, climate, and social justice. Alongside Erinch Sahan, they will discuss the most effective strategies for driving change, offering powerful insights and practical approaches for businesses to foster a sustainable and equitable society.
The future is unequivocally equal, and Oxfam’s unwavering dedication propels us toward this imminent reality. Join Eva and Erinch at Love Tomorrow 2024 to stand shoulder to shoulder in their mission to eliminate poverty and injustice once and for all. Whether by supporting their initiatives or actively participating in events like Love Tomorrow 2024, every individual action fuels the collective journey towards a brighter, fairer future.
