At Work

Making your workplace Fairtrade can be achieved by adopting a Fairtrade Policy that ensures some of the following:

An appointed co-ordinator is responsible for ensuring that:
All employees understand the meaning of Fair Trade, recognise the benefits that it brings to producers, and are aware of the range of Fairtrade products available.
Vending machines stock Fairtrade drinks and chocolate bars
The cafeteria serves Fairtrade drinks and snacks
All kitchens are stocked with Fairtrade tea and coffee
Fairtrade tea and coffee are served at meetings and given to all visitors
In-house publications run a regular feature on Fair Trade
There is a resource section for anyone interested in Fair Trade (a display and/or on a staff intranet)
Events are held at least once a year to promote Fairtrade, for example during Fairtrade Fortnight.
