使命

道德茶葉合作伙伴關係

在2003年,我們是第一家非英國公司加入道德茶葉合作伙伴關係(ETP)。

負責任的茶葉生產

包括可持續的農耕、公平勞動慣例和環境保護。優先進行土壤復育,限制農藥使用,同時符合嚴格的殘留物水平標準。

重複使用、減少、回收

排放和能源消耗減少了66%。重複使用紙板盒、使用可回收的紙袋進行運輸以及定期進行回收來減少浪費。

植物為基礎且無塑料的茶包

生產可持續的以植物為基礎的金字塔茶包,使用可堆肥和可生物降解的材料,包括繩子和標籤選項。

太陽能供電設施

在2011年,我們在安大略的設施上安裝了2600塊太陽能電池板,並為70個家庭生成足夠的電力,同時避免了大量的排放。

環境行動計劃

購買農場、植樹造林、翻修木屋以及通過太陽能實現負碳排放。

減小碳足跡

鼓勵採用環境負責的選項,例如提供散茶以減少環境影響,並提供可生物降解的紙質冰茶袋和無塑料的金字塔茶包,這些茶包是由玉米澱粉製成的。

30年的公平待遇

採購公平貿易認證的茶葉,並在工人和自由持有茶園的茶農中實施公平做法。同時為更好的茶園提供了免費的教育和醫療保健福利。
