Consultant of Fairtrade Czech Republic and Slovakia
Stanislav Komínek is the Consultant of Fairtrade for the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which promotes fair trade, or rather, the fair trade movement
For ten years, he has been studying the working conditions of people in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. "During these trips, I get to places that tourists don't normally go," he says. For example, when he was in Peru, instead of the traditional Machu Picchu, he visited cocoa, coffee, and sugar cane plantations. "I look for locations where people make things or grow products that we commonly use in the Czech Republic and have little idea that they are destroying the environment and abusing people."
