As the number of ethical coffee products grows so does the scrutiny of them. Ethical Consumer’s Tim Hunt gives his lowdown
Selling an ethical cup of coffee has become big business. Likewise, the continued growth of guilt-free cappuccinos is one of the biggest recent success stories of the ethical consumer movement.
Sales of Fairtrade coffee sales alone increased by 8% in the year 2013-14. This is consistent with a longer term trend that has seen Fairtrade retail sales of coffee beans grow by 250% in the decade from 2004 to 2014. This period has also seen a proliferation of other ethical coffee accreditation schemes, including Rainforest Alliance and UTZ.
