Fair Trade Services, formerly known as INO Records, is an American record label based in Brentwood, Tennessee, specializing in Contemporary Christian music (CCM).

History

The label was founded in 1999 as INO Records, a division of M2 Communications.[1] Integrity Media acquired the label in 2002.[1] When Integrity Media was sold to David C. Cook in 2011,[2] label founder and president Jeff Moseley purchased the label assets and renamed it Fair Trade Services.[3]

It was the parent label of SRE Recordings, which concentrated more on Christian rock releases until that label closed with the sale of INO Records to founder Jeff Moseley. All remaining SRE recording artists are under the banner of Fair Trade Services.

Mission

Regarding their mission, the company states: "We desire to work with artists who have a unique message, excellent artistry and spiritual maturity while serving them well through partnering. Our chief aim is to know God and make Him known through products that are spiritually significant, artistically excellent and culturally relevant."[4]
