The Saarpfalz district is a Fairtrade district.

In 2013, the Saarpfalz District Council decided to apply for Fairtrade District status. The Rhein-Kreis Neuss, Germany’s first Fairtrade district, provided valuable advice during the application process, leading to the district’s first certification as a Fairtrade district in 2015. Since then, the Saarpfalz district has been recognised as a Fairtrade Town and is in good company: In 2026, there were over 2,277 Fairtrade Towns in 36 countries worldwide. In Germany, there were 942 Fairtrade Towns at that time. These include the Fairtrade Towns of Homburg, Kirkel and St. Ingbert.

Interested citizens are involved in the respective Fairtrade steering groups together with the municipal administrations, world shops, day-care centres, primary schools, secondary schools, churches, NGOs and the Ökolog. Schullandheim Spohns Haus. There are eight Fairtrade daycare centres, four Fairtrade schools and several Fairtrade school classes in the Saarpfalz district.

Such campaigns throughout the year include the Flower Power campaign "Say it with fair roses", Fashion Revolution Week and Fair Week with Coffee Fairday.

The goals are:

  • Familiarisation with the living and working conditions of producer families and world trade structures
  • Raising awareness of fair and regional trade
  • Finding solutions in our own consumer behaviour and in the development and support of activities in daycare centres and schools or action days as a Fairtrade district and with the Fairtrade Towns

Such campaigns throughout the year include the Flower Power campaign "Say it with fair roses", Fashion Revolution Week and Fair Week with Coffee Fairday.
