Résumé «The relationship between TNCs and FTOs has definitely expanded the market for producers in the Fair Trade sector and increased the availability and visibility of the Fair Trade label. It has also given TNCs a possibility to send a signal of social responsibility by contributing to their Global South producers. However, the relationship has also compelled a division between FTOs, where the critics of the TNCs’ involvement has highlighted both potential and actual negative aspects of that relationship. Giving a final answer to the impact of the relationship between TNCs and FTOs is practically impossible due to the many - faceted nature of the Fair trade system. In conclusion, the relationship has expanded the Fair Trade sector and in extension the possibilities for both positive and negative consequences have expanded with it.»
