Fairtrade

Fairtrade is about better working conditions and fairer pay for farmers and workers in the developing world.

In 2003, we passed a motion supporting the principle of fairtrade and sustainable production and agreed that all tea and coffee that was provided at official meetings was bought under a recognised Fairtrade label or equivalent.

In 2012 the Highlands were awarded Fairtrade Zone status by the Fairtrade Foundation which was renewed in 2013.
