Overview: The impact of trade on sustainable development depends on the nature of the relations created through trade. FairSource brings the benefits of trade to local economies by fostering empowering trade relations for independent enterprises. FairSource is a system of trade based on responsible entrepreneurship, access to opportunity, and human rights. FairSource is proving that small, independent enterprises can successfully compete in the global marketplace while maintaining high standards of social and environmental responsibility. This paper presents the concept of Fair Trade and its application to services in the FairSource model. Two case studies are presented providing perspectives on the use of FairSource in Latin America by a purchaser of services, as well as on a microenterprise in Argentina that provides FairSource services.
