Cafédirect

Fair trade (Social)

Cafédirect is one of fair trade’s biggest names. Their pioneering business model helps make elevenses more ethical for people who want a more conscientious cuppa. Triodos Bank has worked with Cafédirect throughout its development, including raising £5 million in a share issue. Working in partnership with small-scale growers ensures Cafédirect gets the best quality raw materials.

Fair trade

Smallholder farmers in developing countries do not necessarily reap the rewards of a complex international trade system. So, by financing fair trade enterprises we aim to make sure that individuals and their families are paid fairly for their products.

Richard Scanlon, Finance director

I think the relationship between Cafédirect and Triodos goes from strength to strength and I would like to repeat my thanks to the business banking team's interest in, and support of Cafédirect.
