Did you know that the Coop is a great supporter of Fairtrade goods? It was the first supermarket to produce its own range of Fairtrade goods way back in 2000. It sells Fairtrade tea, coffee, chocolate, including some very nice treats, wine and more. It even sells Fairtarde flowers!
The really good news is that the Coop has had a really good period over Christmas with sales up 6%. It’s has bucked the trend against high street and done well – and that must be good news for Fairtrade sales, too!
What else can the Coop do? How about some Fairtrade Clothes? Now that would be a great niche for the Coop and a great way of distributing more Fairtrade products….
