The city of Randaberg is a fairtrade municipality.
A fair-trade municipality is a label for cities and councils that actively work towards increasing the knowledge of and consumation of Fairtrade labelled products in their local communities.
To achieve the status as a fairtrade municipality, the council has to meet a number of criteria that have been set by Fairtrade Max Havelaar Norway, however the city should also work on a continuous basis to promote this labelling of ethics and social responsibility.
The concept first emerged in the United Kingdom, where approximately 150 cities and places have achieved this status.
