Our certifications
Roughly a 1 minute read
All of our core Yorkshire Tea and Taylors of Harrogate Coffee ranges carry at least one kind of third-party certification. This is part of our approach to sustainable sourcing and gives us a baseline standard for the social and environmental conditions that we ask our suppliers to meet.
The Rainforest Alliance
Products with the Rainforest Alliance Certified™ seal are grown and harvested on farms and forests that follow sustainable practices. To become certified, farms must meet criteria of the Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard. The Standard encompasses all three pillars of sustainability — social, economic, and environmental. Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms are audited regularly to verify that farmers are complying with the Standard’s comprehensive requirements, which require continual improvement on the journey to a more sustainable future.
Fairtrade
The FAIRTRADE Mark is an independent label for products that have been sourced from producers in developing countries that operate a fair deal for their workers and employees.
Products with the FAIRTRADE Mark must meet international Fairtrade standards set by the international certification body, Fairtrade International. These standards are designed to support the sustainable development of small producer organizations and agricultural workers in developing countries.
