 Firsts to Fairtrade
Virgin Trains has become the first national train company in the UK to convert all it’s hot drinks to Fairtrade. You can now enjoy Fairtrade tea, coffee and ht chocolate on board – even the chocolate sprinkles on your cappuccino are Fairtrade certified!
Philippa Cresswell, Virgin Trains Product Development Director, said “At Virgin we have always been conscious of our responsibilities to people throughout the world and the need to play our part in protecting the environment. We see our decision to move to Fairtrade products as a logical and significant contribution to economic and social improvements.”
 In another first, Marks & Spencer became the first high street retailer to offer a range of Own Label products made with Fairrade certified cotton. The range includes men’s and women’s T-shirts and socks and is set to increase.
 After switching their entire range of coffees to Fairtrade in March, Marks & Spencer have also committed to switching their entire range of tea to Fairtrade certified. They are extending their support further by offering Fairtrade honey, chocolates, avocados, pineapples, mangoes and bananas.
