Coffee is one of the most significant products within Fairtrade, with climate change and deeply unfair trade, pushing the crops and the communities growing them to the brink.
The industry's future depends on its supply. Choosing Fairtrade is a vote for people and the planet and gives back to those who make this all possible.
UCC, the UK’s leading total coffee solution provider, partners with several sustainable organisations, including Fairtrade, to source 100% traceable to the origin, sustainable coffees from farms and cooperatives around the world.
Impact Through Coffee
UCC has supplied thousands of customers with Fairtrade coffee; in 2020 alone, it generated over £1 million in Fairtrade premium.
They have been one of Foodbuy’s trusted coffee suppliers for over ten years supplying over 220 tonnes of Fairtrade coffee each year.
With this amounting to £57,433.96 of Fairtrade premium over the years of this partnership alone, these vital funds having helped support over 600 farming communities worldwide.
These premiums provide a lifeline and help farmers become more resilient to climate change, educate their children, and improve communities.
"All could not be possible without the support of our customers, and we're looking forward to continuing our partnership with Fairtrade into 2023 and beyond." Craig Muir, Account Controller, UCC UK & Ireland.
