Make your mark – choose Fairtrade

Many farmers and producers of the food and drink we love sit at the end of long supply chains and so lack the opportunity to make their voices heard when it comes to pricing, pay, or new laws and regulations that affect the way they make a living.

With the challenges of climate change, and without fair pay and long-term trading relationships, farmers, workers and their families are being pushed to the brink, often forced to choose between essentials like medical care, children’s education, and decent food.

Fairtrade works with farming co-operatives, businesses and governments to make trade fairer. 30 years of Fairtrade is making a difference. By making the switch to Fairtrade, you help farmers and workers receive a fair income and help protect the future of some of our most-loved food, and the planet.

Find out more about how you can make your mark and have a positive impact on farmers across the globe. Check out these amazing producer videos...

How can you make a difference?

Choose change and make a difference in three easy steps:

  1. Choose Fairtrade. Whenever you can, switch to Fairtrade products and start making a difference

  2. Spread the word. Behind every cup of coffee you buy there are thousands of families who are striving to deliver and sell the best quality coffee. Start talking to friends and family about buying Fairtrade and the change you can make.

  3. Engage with your MP. Get in touch with your local MP and encourage them to campaign for Fairtrade. Find out more here.

What do Fairtrade Marks stand for?

Fairtrade Marks are there to help you make informed choices about the products you buy.

If you see a Fairtrade Mark on our products then you can be sure you’re making an ethical purchase that benefits the producer, their community, and their local environment.
