Directories

Alt Web describes a selection of alternatives one by one. The directories below list many more businesses, with less detail and usually without a rating. Most let businesses add themselves, and some sell better placement, so treat a listing as a lead to check rather than a recommendation. For guides, label databases and maps by country, see the Resources page.

Fair trade

• Fairtrade Finder: Fairtrade International’s search of certified producer organisations and traders, and of the companies licensed to use the FAIRTRADE Mark, for coffee, cocoa, cotton and other products. You can search by name or country.
• Fair Trade Federation brand directory: brands the Fair Trade Federation has verified as fair trade in everything they do, not just in one product line. Its members are mostly in the United States and Canada, and the federation also lists the shops that sell their goods.

Green businesses

• Green Providers Directory: a UK directory of green, fair trade and ethical companies, set up in 2005, sorted into categories from accountants and banking to renewable energy, clothing and funerals.
• EcoHubMap: a worldwide map and directory of eco-friendly companies, NGOs and public agencies, about 13,000 by its own count, searchable by country and field. Listing is free, and the site sells marketing services to the businesses it lists.
• The Green Directory: green, organic and sustainable businesses in about 55 countries, most of them English-speaking, with some 8,700 listings by its own count. It uses no third-party trackers or ad networks, but businesses can pay for featured placement.
