Fostering fair global trade since 2003

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.

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.

FLOCERT assists our cooperative members to well understand and implement practices of economical sustainability, eco-social development and ecological diversity, in their daily operations along the coffee value chain, so the cooperative achieves its economic, social and environmental goals.

As a family business in its fifth generation, the Fairtrade concept is very important to us. We are proud of our over 20 years of successful partnership and the fact 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 86 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.
