Fairtrade sugar

We’ve been championing Fairtrade sugar since 2004 and continue to do so. All the bagged sugar on our shelves (both own-brand and branded) is Fairtrade and has been for since 2016. Working in collaboration with Tate & Lyle Sugars we have supported smallholder farmers in Belize to improve human rights and working conditions.
