Asda

56

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.

The co-operative

430

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.

    How deep is Consumer Demand for Fair Trade?

    The most recent data show that the sale of Fair Trade Certified products continued growing strongly last year- an expansion that as been slowed but by no means halted by the current economic recession. This both heartens Fair Trade advocates and suggests future growth in the amounts and range of products that consumers are willing to pay more for in the name of social justice. While the limits to that expansion are hard to predict, several indices-sales data, an international survey of consumer opinions, and the recent large-scale involvement of major corporate retailers- suggest the phenomenon has considerably further to go before exhausting its potential for growth. Globally, the sale of Fair Trade products grew 22% in 2008 to $4.3 billion.

    People Tree & Emma Watson collaboration

    Launching in late February 2010, this exciting, long awaited collection brings a youthful and inspiring edge to Fair Trade fashion! "I wanted to help People Tree produce a younger range because I was excited by the idea of using fashion as a tool to alleviate poverty and knew it was something I could help make a difference with. It has been the most incredible gap year project."
