Consumers want fairer trade and big companies will always want to appear as it's customers desire. Nestle have a fair trade label on kit kats now which is striking given their barbaric history.

I can't believe you live in the same world that I do if you don't think business controls everything. Part of the motivation to have money is to also have power. At a local level the wealthy force the local authority to do what they want... privately to benefit their immediate environment and commercially to benefit their business interests. I've been involved in it closely enough to observe all this happening. It's sickening and wrong, but it's the way of the world.
Government serves the interest of business. It can't directly contribute but it makes laws to promote business interest.
