Fairtrade Saver
“More and more people are deeply concerned about a global system that marginalises producers in developing countries. Of course people can buy fair trade foods, but the new Fairtrade Saver is another simple way they can also support fair trade and be part of creating change.” Harriet Lamb, Director of the Fairtrade Foundation
Open a Fairtrade Saver and your money could ensure a better deal for third world producers
The Fairtrade Saver is a simple and secure savings account enabling you to directly contribute to the work of the Fairtrade Foundation and provide a healthy return on your money. Money deposited in the account will only be used to support fair trade enterprises in the UK, like Cafédirect and Equal Exchange, who pay a fair price to producers in developing countries.
“The account links organisations like ours, the producers who supply us and UK consumer’s growing appetite for ethical products in a direct, practical way. It has the potential to bring very real benefits to us all.” Phil King - Financial Director, Cafédirect.
Triodos Bank will donate the equivalent of 0.25% of the average balance of funds held in your account each year to The Fairtrade Foundation. This support will help the Foundation's work which ensures a better deal for disadvantaged third world producers.
