Cafédirect is the UK’s largest 100% Fairtrade hot drinks company and our coffees, teas and drinking chocolate are sold through most of the major supermarkets. We are a social enterprise and a publically listed company with a Board of Directors and 4,500 shareholders.
Growers play a key role in every aspect of Cafédirect and 75% of our grower partners own Cafédirect shares. There are also two Grower Directors on the board, one from Africa and one from Latin America, ensuring that growers are involved in all decisions that we make.
Cafédirect has developed and works to its own Gold Standard, consistently setting the bar for ethical business leadership. We publish our commitments and measure our journey towards them in our Annual Reports. Our shares are traded on a matched-bargain basis where buyers and sellers who have registered are matched when shares become available – it’s that easy!
