Cafédirect is the UK's largest Fairtrade hot drinks company. The brands, Cafédirect, 5065, Teadirect and Cocodirect are sold through most of the major supermarkets. They are bought from 33 producer organisations in 11 countries, ensuring that over a quarter of a million growers receive a decent income from this trade.
86% of the operating profits (£574,000 in 2004/05) are put back into tailor-made Producer Partnership Programme (PPP) initiatives to support a wide range of activities, including market information, management training and any other elements required to grow their business. This investment was in addition to the Fairtrade premiums which we paid to growers over and above the market price.

We believe we are doing today what many will do tomorrow. At the heart of our inspiration has been the principle of establishing direct relationships with farmers, demonstrating an alternative approach to trading which balances the business of making money with the business of making lives better. It’s a way of working that benefits everyone.

Today, with a new ownership structure and an increased capital, we have the opportunity to build a better future for all by driving new growth areas and by involving a broad range of people in the future of our company.

Ganesha, which has a shop in London as well as wholesale and mail order businesses describes its product range as ‘fabulous furnishings and eclectic accessories co-operatively produced in India’. The company is a member of the British Association for Fair Trade for Peace and it adheres to strict ethical and environmental guidelines. Many of Ganesha’s products are sourced from small village co-operatives and women’s groups in India.
Everything at this colourful little shop is fairly traded, and many items are made from recycled goods. Ganesha has recently branched out, and now includes two neighbouring shops selling accessories and clothes. Among the beautiful stock are paper made bowls (from £7.99) produced by the Wola Nani project in Cape Town, which gives an income to women living with HIV, and mats from Dakar, Senegal, woven from recycled plastic (£10-£30). Also for sale are colourful hats, bedlinen, Bollywood CDs, and notebooks made of recycled carrier-bag covers. Ganesha imports fair trade textiles and artefacts sourced from co-operatives and cottage industries all over India. It also features an extensive, unusual collection of hand-produced home furnishings from the simple to the extravagant, and an eclectic range of artefacts from natural materials, leaf plates, reed mattresses and items made from reused/recycled post-consumer waste. Most things are sourced at origin, supporting local and rural economies and are so attractive that the shop is regularly featured in design megazines.
