Tea grows in many countries around the world – but not yet in Germany – and everyone should be able to make a good living from and with tea. Purchasing from certified producers is, therefore, an important component of our supply management, as we like to be on site but cannot be everywhere at the same time due to the large number of suppliers.

Aurum Roses has benefitted tremendously from Fairtrade Certification. It has strengthened our competitive edge and supported our community projects and sustainability efforts. I've worked with FLOCERT for many years, and through regular audits and expert guidance, FLOCERT has fostered continuous improvement and provided valuable insights throughout the certification process.

Living in South Africa gives a bigger meaning to what we do – wine isn't just about the bottom line, there's a social dimension too.

As a family business in its fifth generation, the Fairtrade concept is very important to us. For more than 20 years, FLOCERT's independent verification and certification services have helped ensure the credibility of our Fairtrade commitments. We are proud that Pfanner is the world's largest Fairtrade partner in the fruit juice sector.

Karen Roses has been partnering with FLOCERT since 2004 when we joined Fairtrade. Our business has grown from 38 ha to 100 ha during this time! Fairtrade Certification has helped us access international markets, improve our working environment, and empower our workers. FLOCERT has provided continuous support in adapting to changing Fairtrade Standards over the years.
