Thank you for helping us become the worlds biggest* retailer of Fairtrade products

 
   Because you bought Fairtrade, you have helped thousands of individual farmers in developing countries
   become sustainable  and profitable.



Did you know we are the world’s biggest* retailer of Fairtrade products?

As well as fair prices, these farmers are paid a little bit extra to invest in community projects such as building pre-schools,
supplying schools with computers and other equipment, and providing medical care.

raise awareness, to deepen understanding and increase sales of Fairtrade certified products. Here you can find out more
