Fairtrade at work


Warwick Mill Business Centre Fairtrade!

What is Fairtrade?
Fairtrade is about better prices, decent working conditions, local sustainability, and fair terms of trade for farmers and workers in the developing world. By requiring companies to pay sustainable prices (which must never fall lower than the market price), Fairtrade addresses the injustices of conventional trade, which traditionally discriminates against the poorest, weakest producers. It enables them to improve their position and have more control over their lives.

What has Warwick Mill Business Village done to become fairtrade?
To be a registered Fairtrade workplace, we have committed to use two Fairtrade products in our meeting room facilities and staff kitchen. We have also been recognised for our commitment by receiving a Fairtrade certificate from The Mayor of Carlisle Councillor Jacquelyne Geddes.
