Birmingham celebrated 10 years of being a Fairtrade City in 2015 and Fairtrade Birmingham (the organisation that maintains the City’s Fairtrade status) is looking for Fairtrade Employers willing to become Flagship Fairtrade Employers for the City.
To become a Fairtrade Employer you need to ensure that Fairtrade products are used in the workplace (i.e. tea and coffee served at meetings for example).
To become a Fairtrade Flagship Employer you also need to:
- Promote Fairtrade both within your organisation and externally and
- Support Fairtrade Birmingham.
If you are interested in Fairtrade in your business, and would like to discuss how you can become a Fairtrade business and employer, please talk to us on 0121 270 0878

Hi there,
I work in Aston University’s Environment Team and sit on our Fairtrade Committee. I’m interested to know more about your Fairtrade Flagship Employer idea. I’m also wondering if there are any plans for Fairtrade Fortnight within Birmingham as we are currently planning our schedule of events and would like to know what the wider community is planning to do.
