Fair Change Co is the new trading subsidiary of Scottish Fair Trade. We are seeking to appoint up to three new directors, including a Chair, to support the development and growth of the trading subsidiary.
Fair Change Co supports businesses and public sector organisations to realise their ethical potential. While we have been delivering consultancy through our sister organisation, Scottish Fair Trade, for some time now, Fair Change Co is a new, dedicated channel that enables us to reach out to businesses and public sector organisations who are looking to strengthen their ethical commitments and reach new markets.
The trading subsidiary offers consultancy services to encourage more ethical supply chains and to help businesses access the Scottish market. As well as supporting better business practices, the subsidiary aims to generate income for Scottish Fair Trade and therefore support the campaign in Scotland for fair and ethical trade.
We are seeking three additional directors to join the Board of the new subsidiary. Potential directors will have experience and/or knowledge of some (but not necessarily all) of the following: business with a social mission, charity trading subsidiaries, marketing, provision of consultancy services, financial management, and building relationships with customer organisations.
We are also seeking a new Chair who will be responsible for leading board meetings and ensuring productive outcomes. They will also provide support to the Chief Executive, ensure compliance with regulatory and financial standards, and guide us through this important phase of development whilst adhering to our organisational values.
The Board meets on average five times a year online or in person at our offices in Glasgow (hybrid option always available).
