According to the Fairtrade Foundation, tea is the second most popular drink in the world (water is the first), with an estimated 70,000 cups consumed every second. But as well as being part of our daily diet, tea is an important source of income for millions of growers around the world…growers who are often underpaid and exploited in developing countries.
That’s where One’s socially responsible range of beverage sachets come in. Produced by HealthPak, the One Fairtrade range encourages guests to enjoy their morning cuppa knowing that the farmer who grew their tea, coffee or sugar was paid a fair price. As well as meeting internationally agreed Fairtrade social, economic and environmental standards, the products are packaged using a range of materials that ensure a quality experience for your guest. Not only that, but the teas and sugars are packaged in a degradable film that breaks down more easily in landfill. “There is tremendous opportunity for accommodation providers throughout the country to have meaningful impact on sustainability by offering the ultimate ethical choice for their guests through Fairtrade beverages and sugar,” says Fairtrade Australia and New Zealand CEO Molly Harriss Olson.
Currently more than 1.7 million farmers and workers across 75 developing countries benefit from the Fairtrade system – and more than 8.3 million hotel guests have been able to enjoy One Fairtrade’s organic tea, premium coffee, drinking chocolate and sugar.
