As a responsible business, the sustainability and ethics of our operations are of the utmost importance.

In some cases, such as on our own estates, we can have a direct impact on our environmental footprint, and on the quality of life of the people who work for us, and this is something we’re incredibly proud of.

However, much of our tea and coffee is purchased from other growers, and as such we rely on third party certifications to ensure we’re doing business in a fair and ethical way.

The Fairtrade Mark means that the tea or coffee has been produced by small-scale farmer organisations or plantations that meet Fairtrade social, economic and environmental standards.

Works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behaviour.
