FairMail's 2012 fair trade calendar

FairMail’s new 2012 fair trade calendar (click here for webversion) just arrived and almost sold out straight away!

The big calendar has 12 pictures made by the teenagers from FairMail Peru. Each month contains a different picture and a personal story and picture of the teenager who took that month’s beautiful pictures.  50% of the profit of the sale goes to the teenagers personal education fund.

Also nice to know is that the calendar is printed with biodegradable ink, on FSC certified paper at a printer that off-sets its CO2 emissions.

After the 2011 calendar already sold out in September we printed twice as much this year. But still after the pre-orders there are currently only 145 calendars left. So if you want to be sure you won’t be late again this year for this great calendar, just order on-line through FairMail’s webshop.

FairMail’s mission is to sell the pictures made by our teenage photographers so they can invest part of the profit in their future. Besides the printing of pictures on greeting cards the pictures are being sold more and more to companies and organisations for their year reports, websites, office decoration and as internal stock photography for presentations by employees.

Fair trade pictures for the ASN Bank and DHV Consultancy

FM0019 RositaFor example the Dutch ethical ASN Bank already uses FairMail pictures for its internal year reports and publications about their share funds. According to Elly Bal, marketing officer at ASN „with pictures by FairMail you help teenagers in Peru and India create a better future for themselves“

DHV Consultancy was looking for images that represent their core corporate values and made a concrete picture assignment for the teenage photographers in Peru and India. Before the agreed deadline we sent them a large selection of the resulting images to choose from. These are now available for DHV employees to use in presentations  via the internal stock photography database. This way DHV can show it’s social corporate responsibility in an easy way.

How does it work?

Fm0335 AnilThrough FairMail’s online photo gallery the available images can be viewed. Through the tag cloud you can easily browse through different themes like environment, cooperation, or Christmas and New Year to find a picture for this years corporate Christmas Card. Each pictures has an unique code with which you can let FairMail know which picture you are interested in and request a price quote. It you can’t find what you are looking for yet you can give an assignment to our young photographers. They love to take pictures on demand! Knowing that if their pictures is good enough for the final selection they can earn the money necessary to finance their own education!

An idea for your employer?

FM0324 mariaflorPerhaps this is an idea for your employer or team. Just imagine that you and your collegues only use fair trade pictures in the future for your communication. Wouldn’t that be great? If wanted we can also provide an image and information about the teenager who took the picture. That way you can communicate the unique story behind your images easily.

(English) FairMail passes fair trade examination

By passing two different fair trade exams you can still be assured that FairMail complies with the demanding fair trade criteria. FairMail online doctor prescription cialis received a control visit from and inspector of the Dutch World Shps and became a full member of the World Fair Trade Organization.

The only negative point the inspector could find was that FairMail needs to formalize the involvement of its third investor. This needs to be done to guarantee continuity of FairMail to the producers in case anything would happen to FairMail’s founders Peter & Janneke. With the registration of a new private limited this year this issue will be solved. We therefore look forward to the next visit to get the full 100% score!
