Its time to realise and harness the multitude of benefits Fairtrade cotton can offer to your business

Fairtrade is becoming an increasingly powerful phenomenon in the corporate world...

and Koolskools is glad to be in the vanguard of suppliers of Fairtrade cotton garments to British business.

'Fairtrade allows people in the UK to make a difference to the lives of poor farmers and producers all over the world, thanks to corporate will and customer demand.' These were the words of Gareth Thomas, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Department for International Development and Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform at the Fairtrade Foundation Commercial Conference 2007.

When the Director of Oxfam GB, Barbara Stocking, said that 'no-one could have anticipated the enormous impact that Fairtrade would have............in business boardrooms country-wide', with the benefit of hindsight this was perhaps one of the understatements of recent years.

Independent research has shown that that 95 % of consumers in the UK feel it is important that all companies treat producers and suppliers fairly and also trade fairly. Koolskools can provide high quality workwear garments made with Fairtrade certified cotton. This is a practical way of showing their customers that they really mean business.

One of Koolskools first corporate clients was the Helluvit Private Car Club. Here Andy presents David Jones, Helluvit's Director, with a Koolskools polo shirt. Helluvit are keen to embrace Fairtrade cotton.

Please take your time, unpeel that Fairtrade banana and get ready that cup of Fairtrade certified coffee, get comfy, sit back and watch the following video relating to Fairtrade for business.

We guarantee it will help your understanding of how Fairtrade is important but also highly beneficial to both your company's prosperity and credibility.
