Learn. Grow. Lead.


At Fairtrade, learning is part of how we work. We empower you to build your skills, increase your impact and grow your career every day. 

Our Learning & Development approach follows the 70-20-10 model:

  • 70% On-the-Job Learning: Most growth happens through real work. You’ll take on stretch assignments, solve real-world problems, and get regular development-focused 1:1s with your manager.
  • 20% Learning from Others: Learn through feedback, coaching, and peer networks. Leadership programmes help you step up and lead with confidence.
  • 10% Formal Learning: Access e-learning, expert-led sessions, and co-funded qualifications when you need structured support.

Whether you're early in your journey or ready to lead, you'll find daily opportunities to learn, grow, and lead—supported by a culture of curiosity, experimentation, and continuous improvement.


Our Values in Action

  • At Fairtrade Foundation, our values are more than words — they shape our relationships, guide our decisions, and drive our mission. We live them every day, and hold each other accountable.

Our 4 values guide how we work

  • Respect

    We treat everyone with dignity and empathy. That includes farmers and workers, our partners, and our team members. We champion inclusion, celebrate diversity, and aim to be a workplace where everyone feels heard and valued.

  • Partnership

    We believe that change is only possible when we work together. We build strong, lasting relationships — from farmers and workers to businesses, governments, and supporters. Internally, we collaborate across teams and listen deeply to each other to achieve shared goals.

  • Accountability

    We are transparent about our decisions and take ownership of our actions. Everyone at Fairtrade is encouraged to be open, honest, and committed to continuous learning. We hold ourselves to the same high standards we ask of others.

  • Integrity

    Fairness is the heart of what we do. We uphold ethical practices in every aspect of our work — from commercial relationships, safeguarding to internal governance. We speak up to power and act with courage, even when it's difficult.
