Many farmers still don’t receive the price they deserve. Choosing Fairtrade helps to secure their future. Choose Fairtrade to change lives and protect the planet.
Fairtrade is all about:
Buying Fairtrade goods gives producers across the world a better price and means their communities benefit from a Fairtrade premium. The Fairtrade Premium is an additional sum of money which goes into a communal fund for workers and farmers to use to improve social, economic and environmental conditions in their communities.
When you buy a product with the Fairtrade Mark in our stores, you can be reassured it’s been produced in a way that puts people first.
How do we support Fairtrade? 💚
We first introduced Fairtrade products in every store way back in 1998. Since then, more and more everyday items and indulgent treats have been added to the range. From chocolate Easter eggs to fresh roses and lots more.
Our Fairtrade focus is on selling more of seven key categories - coffee, flowers, tea, cocoa, wine, bananas and sugar.
Where our products contain coffee, cocoa, bananas and tea as ingredients, we ensure that Fairtrade producers benefit.
All own-brand chocolate confectionary is Fairtrade so next time you reach for a chocolatey treat, look out for the Fairtrade logo – your purchase will be helping the producers continue to grow their businesses.
Did you know...☕
Less than 4% of coffee farmers are guaranteed a “fair price”.
Just under 100 million cups of coffee are consumed in the UK each day. If all coffee bought was certified Fairtrade, £40m in Fairtrade premium (a 500% increase), could be going to help farming communities across the world.
A Fairtrade price means everything to coffee growers, but costs consumers very little – it’s less than 2 pence* per cup.
