6. Why is supporting Fairtrade important to you and your business?
We are keen to bring awareness, influence and support to Fairtrade as part of our ESG journey. We are officially classified as Environmental and Social Impact Monitors (ESI Monitor) empowered to continually improve our environmental and /or social sustainability through measurement, minimisation, management and benchmarking. We strive to integrate sustainability into our DNA and make positive, meaningful and long-lasting changes. We believe through Fairtrade we can also make a difference to the lives of people who grow things we love. By taking small steps together, globally we can support small scale farmers and workers who are marginalised from trade in a variety of ways and improve decent working conditions, local sustainability and fair terms of trade.
Community projects we are involved with include:
- Guernsey Trees for Life (GTFL) where we engage in tree and hedgerow planting. Our Managing Director sits on the Board of GTFL.
- GROW is a local charity which provides a safe and secure working environment for adults with learning and other disabilities. Our Chairman is a Board Member.
- Hidden Garden of St Peters which raises funds for St Peter’s church and parish.
- We are the main sponsor of the St Peter’s Liberation Day Cavalcade & Party
- Only Fools and Donkeys which work with a number of local charities.
- We support the Rocquaine Regatta and provide a diving platform for use in the bay throughout the summer.
- We also sponsor 30 Bays in 30 Days & 12 Bays of Christmas which supports Les Bourgs Hospice, Plastic Free Guernsey and links up with the Clean Earth Trust to promote the projects that help protect our shores.
