ABOUT US

About the Foundation

The mission of True Price Foundation is that every product has a true price, whereby basic products such as food remain or become affordable for everyone. This means that products and value chains are regenerative and in line with human rights; costs for recovery, compensation and prevention of social costs are discounted in product prices. We therefore strive for transparency about and (voluntary) payment of true prices. Additionally, we strive to change the laws and regulations that determine the outcomes of the market, such as tax, purchasing, accounting and trade regulations.
The Foundation has three core activities: to develop and maintain the True Price Standard and ensure it gains authority for worldwide adoption, to activate governments, civil society organisations, trade unions, knowledge institutions and companies for the adoption of true prices, through the Global True Price Partnership and to mobilise the demand for true prices among consumers through the True Price Movement.
