Providing refreshment supplies for tea rooms, canteens and boardrooms is necessary in all workplaces.

A quick and easy way to improve the sustainability of your office is to provide Fairtrade certified products as an alternative to the standard tea and coffee supplies.

By choosing Fairtrade, your workplace will be directly supporting producers in less developed countries and contributing to sustainable development.

Fairtrade offers many social and economic benefits to producers. They receive a fair and stable price that reflects the true cost of production and labour. Emphasis is put on healthy working conditions and developing community projects, while encouraging environmentally sound production methods.

Further information about the benefits of agencies supporting Fairtrade is available at Buyfair with links to the EFTA Legal report (PDF) and EU council resolution (PDF) about public sector procurement of Fairtrade products in Europe.
