Choose products with the FAIRTRADE Mark®

Make Fairtrade your habit

Did you know:

• That there are now over 2000 products with the FAIRTRADE Mark? This means that the product has met specific international standards that guarantee producers in Third World countries are getting a fair deal.

• That sales figures for these products are rising by about 40% a year, every year?

• That brands with the FAIRTRADE Mark now account for 20% of the roast and ground coffee market in the UK?

• There is a clear and increasing demand for Fairtrade goods from consumers. Many supermarket and café chains have switched to Fairtrade following customer pressure.

So it makes sense to make these products widely available.

Convert your hotel, cafe or restaurant

It's easy to make Fairtrade available to your customers. There are hundreds of Fairtrade teas and coffees to choose from as well as Fairtrade hot chocolate, sugar, breakfast cereal, fruit juice and fruit, all at competitive prices. Why not try selling Divine chocolate bars or Geobars to your customers?

You can find all the local supermarkets which stock these products on the Enfield Fairtrade Campaign website.

Speak to your existing supplier about Fairtrade foods. You may be able to source from them. Otherwise, the catering distributors directory on the Fairtrade Foundation’s website (.uk) lists nationwide suppliers who are registered with the Fairtrade Foundation to supply the catering market. You can also request a hard copy on 020 7405 5942
