Ensuring Fair Treatment for Coffee Farm Workers: Our Commitment at The Last Unicorn Coffee Company

At The Last Unicorn Coffee Company, we believe in more than just delivering exceptional coffee. We are dedicated to ensuring that the hardworking individuals who grow and harvest our beans are treated with fairness and respect. Here’s a closer look at how we achieve this.

Fair Trade Certification

One of the cornerstones of our commitment to ethical sourcing is our adherence to Fair Trade principles. Fair Trade certification guarantees that coffee farm workers receive fair wages, work under safe conditions, and benefit from sustainable farming practices. By partnering with Fair Trade certified farms, we ensure that our coffee contributes to a positive social and environmental impact.

Direct Trade Relationships

Beyond certifications, we cultivate direct trade relationships with coffee farmers. This approach allows us to work closely with the producers, ensuring they receive a higher price for their beans compared to conventional markets. Direct trade not only improves the financial well-being of the farmers but also promotes transparency and trust within the supply chain.

Social and Economic Support

We recognise that fair treatment extends beyond fair pay. That’s why The Last Unicorn Coffee Company supports initiatives that improve the overall quality of life for coffee farm workers and their communities. From funding educational programmes to investing in healthcare facilities, we are committed to making a tangible difference in the lives of those who cultivate our coffee.

Sustainable Farming Practices

Sustainability is integral to fair treatment. We support and encourage sustainable farming practices that protect the environment and ensure the long-term viability of coffee farming. By promoting organic farming methods and providing resources for eco-friendly practices, we help farmers maintain healthy ecosystems and secure livelihoods for future generations.

Ethical Labour Practices

Exploitation has no place in our supply chain. We strictly adhere to ethical labour practices, ensuring that all workers are treated with dignity and respect. This includes prohibiting child labour, ensuring reasonable working hours, and maintaining safe working conditions. Regular audits and visits to our partner farms help us monitor compliance and address any issues promptly.

Premium Quality, Fairly Sourced

Our commitment to fair treatment results in more than just ethical satisfaction. It directly impacts the quality of our coffee. Happier, fairly-treated workers are more invested in their work, leading to a meticulous, high-quality coffee production process.
