According to the municipality, World Fairtrade Day falls on May 9, 2026. To mark the occasion, events will be held on May 8 at Stadsbiblioteket in Luleå and Råneå bibliotek, offering free Fairtrade coffee, tea, and chocolate, as well as a chocolate wheel for prizes. These activities coincide with the launch of Fairtrade's spring campaign 'Fika Forever'.
The certification reflects ongoing efforts by the municipality and local actors to increase the availability of Fairtrade products and promote sustainable consumption, an official said. Many specifics, such as the exact number of Fairtrade products used in municipal operations or the criteria for re-certification, remain undisclosed.
