How is Fyffes involved?
Fyffes and Fairtrade
Fyffes is one of the biggest suppliers of Fairtrade produce and works with regional offices in many different countries. Fairtrade aims to ensure that producers in developing countries get a better deal from trade. Products that carry the FAIRTRADE Mark are independently certified against internationally agreed standards defined by the Fairtrade Labelling Organisations International (FLO). These cover a range of social and environmental criteria, and include trading standards to ensure that the producers’ organisations receive an agreed, stable price and additional premiums to invest in improving life for their communities.
Fyffes, adopting ethical trading strategies, takes agreed steps to ensure our supplier companies respect the rights of their workers by adhering to national labour laws and the Conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO). These include requiring that our suppliers comply with a code of labour practice such as the ETI Base Code, checking their progress towards meeting the code, and giving them support to do so.
