Co-op to source only Fairtrade cocoa

The Co-op is to become the first UK retailer to use only Fairtrade cocoa in its products, giving a boost to the Fairtrade movement. The company is already a supporter of Fairtrade, sourcing products from over 20 countries and supporting around 250,000 farmers. The switch to 100 per cent Fairtrade cocoa will cover 200 products, from the sprinkles on its doughnuts to chocolate tortes.
