Additional Entity
An Additional Entity is a site or legal entity that does not take legal ownership of the Fairtrade product but provides services involving the Fairtrade product (storage/packing/processing) that are within certification scope.
It can be either:
A Subcontractor to a certified customer or
a site owned by a certified customer.
Certain services are out of certification scope; entities providing these services are not considered Additional Entities.
