Ben and Jerry's

In 2006, we launched the world’s first ever Fairtrade vanilla ice cream. Aside from its great taste, our vanilla ice cream offers a real difference to the lives of the farmers who produce its vanilla and sugar in India and Paraguay. The premium we pay for these ingredients enables the farmers to make positive steps towards providing basic needs for their families and communities such as healthcare, education and safe housing. We’re proud to be involved in a global movement that’s helping to grow a market for Fairtrade ingredients and products which is why we’ve embarked on a long term partnership with the Fairtrade Foundation. We now have 3 Fairtrade flavours - Vanilla, Vanilla Toffee Crunch and Chunky Monkey ... more to follow soon. ‘Fairtrade is about making sure people get their fair share of the pie. The whole concept of fair-trade goes to the heart of our values and the sense of right and wrong. Nobody wants to buy something that was made by exploiting somebody else.’ - Jerry Greenfield

Cream o'Galloway

43

Cream o' Galloway Made Fair When we began producing ice cream in 1994, we made a decision only to use natural ingredients, never to add anything artificial and never to add colour. Since the farm achieved organic status in 2001, we've only ever used our own organic milk in all of our recipes. In more recent years we've become increasingly commited to using Fair Trade ingredients in our tearoom and in 2007 we launched our new 'Made Fair' range of ice creams, certified by the Fair Trade Foundation, and 100% organic. The organic ice cream flavours we've been making since 1999 are now made with Fair Trade ingredients too. They are still as wonderfully delicious as ever. If you've a sweet tooth we recommend Strawberry Pavlova. And if you love good old traditional vanilla, make time to try our Organic Vanilla... simply natural and simply the best!

    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."
