Fair Wages, Fair Practices,
FairTruth.org

FairTruth… it’s something that can be done at the consumer level to increase the quality of social awareness, and to reward socially responsible companies.

The consumer level is the point of sale: advertising and all the things that companies do to reach the consumer can be used as a FairTruth interface. The question is whether there’s a demand and whether we should build it.

A company’s FairTruth can encompass employment practices, volunteerism, donations, and green practices. Each company and industry will have different definitions and differing levels of abilities. This presents a challenge to the FairTruth solution provider.

There are a number of thought papers on the topic here on this site, as well as a history of different means of letting the consumer know whether the company is “okay” or not.

We are seeking input now as to whether the time is right to take a next step and build a FairTruth solution. See our Facebook page for dialogue.
