Additional Entity

Additional Entity

An Additional Entity is a site or legal entity that does not take legal ownership of the Fairtrade product but provides services involving the Fairtrade product (storage/packing/processing) that are within certification scope.

It can be either:

  • A Subcontractor to a certified customer or
  • a site owned by a certified customer.

Certain services are out of certification scope; entities providing these services are not considered Additional Entities.
