The year 2025 marks an important milestone for the Ethical Trade Forums, as we celebrate 10 years since our creation. During this decade, we have worked to promote the best practices in the sector, encourage collaboration, and strengthen fair and responsible trade. To commemorate this anniversary, we have prepared special activities and new developments, and one of which will take place in a few weeks, in Madrid.
This year, the ETF will participate in the international trade fair of the sector, Fruit Attraction, which will be held from September 30 to October 2 at the Madrid exhibition center (IFEMA). On this occasion, for the first time, we will have our own stand, where we will publicize our initiatives, promote dialogue with attendees, and strengthen our network of contacts.
In addition to the stand, we also have a space reserved at Fruit Next 5 (Pavilion 5) on Tuesday, September 30, at 10:30 a.m. We will use this space to present the Ethical Trade Forums initiative, share our mission, our main collaborative projects, the tools we use, and the activities we carry out to contribute to the well-being of workers and their families, and to the social, economic, and environmental sustainability of the Spanish agri-food sector. We will also explain how the Ethical Trade Forums Association (ETFA) works, and the benefits of membership for organizations.
We invite all our stakeholders to join us at Fruit Next and, of course, to visit our stand in Hall 5, stand E07.
We look forward to seeing you there!
