Asda
We’re so passionate about Fairtrade at ASDA, we have a dedicated team who work closely with the Fairtrade organisation to promote their licensed products. By continuing to expand the range of Fairtrade products in our stores, we are helping our customers make a contribution to the cause. All of our products which bear the Fairtrade mark are guaranteed to have been produced by workers in safe, decent working conditions. And because the Foundation’s working practices promote democratic processes within organisations and communities, it means farmers and workers are being empowered to take more control over their lives.

Fair Play Seed

We have been mentioned in Country Living magazine, The English Garden, Organic Gardening magazine, Ethical Consumer magazine, Social Enterprise magazine and Garden Organic's Organic Way magazine. We sell our seed packets through Traidcraft, Oxfam Shops, and a growing number of independent fair trade retail outlets. A close working relationship with Traidcraft, through their Partnership Review Programme, ensures that all we do is sustainable and fair. Registered with DEFRA (the UK’s department for agriculture and rural affairs) as a seed importing merchant, we abide by their rules and regulations on the importation of seeds from other countries.
Get Ethical
Get Ethical is a portal to ethical products. You'll find products from a wide range of suppliers – all of whom are members of Ethical Junction and have committed to operating according to a core set of values you can read up on here. Get Ethical is a “Not Just For Profit” organisation. While we need to trade profitably to pay wages and develop the business, we firmly believe profit should not be the only motivation and are committed to using our profits to put something back in to the world. Get Ethical does not hold any of its own products. All the products you see on the site are from independent suppliers – you can find and see a full list of our current suppliers on our web site.

John Lewis
Our Constitution states that the John Lewis Partnership's 'relationships with its suppliers must be based, as with its customers, on honesty, fairness, courtesy and promptness. It looks for a similar attitude throughout its supply chains. In particular, the Partnership expects its suppliers to obey the law and respect the well-being of their employees, their local communities and the environment'. In practice this means suppliers work with us not for us, and we strive to maintain long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with them.
Sainsbury's
In 1994 we were the first major supermarket in the UK to offer Fairtrade food. Today we are the biggest retailer of Fairtrade products in the UK, measured by sales value. Fairtrade offers producers in the developing world access to global trade markets and a guaranteed minimum price for their goods. Fairtrade standards protect producers against global price fluctuations and provide the security needed to plan for the future. Fairtrade also generates a social premium, allowing producers to invest in the development of their own local community. It’s been nearly seven years since we started selling Fairtrade bananas and many of our customers now expect the ethical standards of Fairtrade to apply to many of the products they buy from us. We’re now seeing record demand for Fairtrade amongst our customers. We pledged last year to double our sales of Fairtrade products, and we surpassed this goal by £36 million. Our annual Fairtrade sales now amount to £139 million and we expect them to grow beyond £200 million by the end of 2008/09.
Simply Fair
By simply switching from your current brand of product (be it coffee, tea, chocolate or any of the items on the certified list), to one that carries the FAIRTRADE Mark, you can use your purchasing power as economic muscle, secure in the knowledge that the product isn't being brought to you at such a tremendous cost to the people who grow it. If you take coffee as an example, under Fairtrade, growers get a much higher price for their coffee than they do under standard supply contracts. Yet, the extra cost to the consumer is well under a penny a cup. If we chose the Fairtrade option we can make a real difference for the growers. With 30 billion cups of coffee drunk every year in the UK alone, that's quite a difference.
The co-operative
As a member-owned organisation, The co-operative Food’s approach to determining the ethical priorities of our business is unique amongst retailers in that it is based on a member and customer mandate. The Co-operative Food Ethical Policy is our commitment to improve our ethical and environmental performance in line with our members’ expectations, and aims to maintain our position as the UK’s leading responsible retailer. In 2007 over 100,000 of our members and customers came forward to contribute to the development of the policy. In response, this consultation – the world's largest ever poll on ethics – has been developed to reflect the issues and priorities that matter most to our members: ethical trading; animal welfare; environmental impact; food quality, diet and health; and community retailing. We have already made a number of big announcements and changes in line with members' priorities, such as ending the sale of eggs from caged hens amongst others.
