In 1994 he wrote the first criteria for Fairtrade labelled tea (which included the introduction of the 'Joint Body' concept, which became blueprint for criteria involving hired labour) and for Fairly Traded soccerballs (1998).Most recently he expanded Fair Trade to cover natural rubber, and for nine years he was the director of the Fair Rubber Association.
