A recent YouGov survey has revealed that despite growing support for Fairtrade in the UK, only 17% of UK workers say their companies are currently serving Fairtrade products at work. Almost two out of five workers (38%) say they think their company should make products carrying the FAIRTRADE Mark available to staff at work.
Products include tea, coffee and juice to quench your thirst, biscuits and cakes for meetings, and wine for client dining. You can also source Fairtrade certified cotton for your company T-shirts and uniforms and brighten up reception with Fairtrade flowers!
