We donate a penny on every pound you spend with us to support positive change in developing countries through the work of The Fairtrade Foundation.

The Fairtrade Foundation is the independent non-profit organisation that licenses use of the FAIRTRADE Mark on products in the UK in accordance with internationally agreed Fairtrade standards.

Fairtrade seeks to transform trading structures and practices in favour of the poor and disadvantaged. By facilitating trading partnerships based on equity and transparency, Fairtrade contributes to sustainable development for marginalised producers, workers and their communities. Through demonstration of alternatives to conventional trade and other forms of advocacy, the Fairtrade movement empowers citizens to campaign for an international trade system based on justice and fairness.

The Fairtrade Foundation’s four key areas of activity are:

• Providing an independent certification of the trade chain, licensing use of the FAIRTRADE Mark as a consumer guarantee on products
• Facilitating the market to grow demand for Fairtrade and enable producers to sell to traders and retailers
• Working with our partners to support producer organisations and their networks
• Raising public awareness of the need for Fairtrade and the importance of the FAIRTRADE Mark
