fairtrade at workMore and more UK consumers are making the switch to products carrying the Fairtrade label when they do their weekly grocery shop.   Fairtrade coffee, tea, biscuits, fresh fruit and juices are now also widely available to buy in bulk from catering suppliers, wholesalers meaning that it?s even easier for your place of work to join the Fairtrade revolution.

 

To support the push of fairtrade certified products at work, the UK?s Fairtrade Foundation has produced a range of posters, leaflets and booklets that will provide a quick introduction to Fairtrade to your colleagues.  These free resources, along with a quirky viral video and game, are available to download or to order from the new Fairtrade at Work website

 

So just how do you get Fairtrade products into your workplace?

Speak to you catering manager and ask them to buy Fairtrade certified products for your workplace?s canteen.  If you work for a small company you can purchase products from a local shop or supermarket.  Medium to large organisations will probably use a catering supplier.  If help is needed to find out where to buy Fairtrade certified products for your work the Fairtrade Foundation has an Out of Home Directory to find out shops and catering suppliers that supply products carrying the Fairtrade mark.
