Fair trade

We have participated in the Fairtrade University scheme since 2004, making commitments to procure fair trade, awareness-raising and research.

The University continues to maintain its longstanding commitment to fair trade and develop its approach to ethical supply chains.

Our commitment to fair trade means that whenever possible we aim to buy products that are produced fairly and ethically and support ongoing academic research and development in this area.

There are lots of ways for staff and students to support workers around the world by choosing accredited products when they buy, as well as awareness-raising, volunteering and contributing to research.
