Here at Mitchell’s we are passionate about Fairtrade.

Set up in 1992, The Fairtrade Foundation was set up by a group of aid organisations and charities to license the use of the Fairtrade Mark on products in the United Kingdom. The key objective of the Foundation is to contribute to both the economic and social development of local communities in developing countries by enabling them to receive better prices for their produce, better trading terms and decent working conditions. As well as contributing to local sustainability it also enables farmers and workers to become empowered in their jobs.

By offering our customers ethical products in line with fair-trade initiatives we are helping farmers receive a fair deal in developing countries and that makes a big difference. We currently stock Fairtrade teas and coffee in the majority of our pubs with a commitment to expand the range of Fairtrade produce in our pubs and hotels in the near future.
