Our mission and impact
Mission driven
Our purpose is to accelerate the world's transition to a living wage for all people.
We do this through using certified Fairtrade raw ingredients - teas, spices and herbs - because Fairtrade stipulates minimum commodity prices for small-scale farmers and improves working conditions for employees.
It's exciting to be a part of this movement which values the work of all people, no matter whether they work on a farm, an office or in a factory.
Responsible business will help to build a world of more equality and peace. We hope you'll join us.

To maximise our positive impact for farmers, we want to ensure we are using the right social certification system and stay accountable.
Hence we conduct assessments of all the certifications available to businesses and compare them using criteria such as fair pay and good working conditions (using ILO standards).
Fairtrade was the standout certification system that fulfilled our ethical criteria.
