UC is proud to stand with fair trade producers and encourage ethical sourcing. To support this, we are committed to purchasing Fairtrade and World Fair Trade Organisation (WFTO) certified products.

Fair trade supports marginalised farmers and workers in developing countries, enabling them to take care of their environment and to build a better and more secure life for themselves, their families and their communities. By changing the balance of power in trade, purchasing Fair trade creates a real, positive difference in people’s lives, from the farmers and workers growing crops, right through the supply chain to the place where you buy the end product.

What does this mean for UC?

Supporting fair trade��means our community is committed to being a socially responsible institution. We demonstrate this by supporting fair trade growers and producers in our department kitchens, campus retail outlets, through our supplier contracts, and by encouraging our University community to become aware of key global, social and environmental issues that affect real people and their communities around the world.��

You can find a range of Fairtrade and WFTO products available in campus retail outlets, in department kitchens, and available to purchase through Unimarket. See below for more information on purchasing and ordering fair trade at UC.
