Ethical Trading

There is a growing awareness and interest surrounding the importance of Ethical Trading and West Country Vending is working with suppliers to secure the long-term health of the coffee and cocoa trade by helping coffee & cocoa growing communities build a better future.

All the coffee we use in our fully managed machines is sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms. So you get a great tasting cup of coffee made from sustainably farmed beans, giving you peace of mind that with every sip you take you are helping coffee farming communities build a better future and protect the environment.

As well as ethically sourced coffee West Country Vending also offer Importient Fairtrade Tea. Importient is part of The Ethical Tea Partnership which is an initiative that monitors tea estates to ensure the ethical sourcing of tea.

Some of the most loved snack and confectionery brands we supply are now committing to sustainability programmes and Fair Trade certification too. The likes of Cadbury Dairymilk and Nestle Kit Kat now carry the Fairtrade logo and Mars Galaxy is certified by the Rainforest Alliance™. Likewise United Biscuits; manufacturers of McVities, Hula Hoops, McCoys, Mini Cheddars and Jaffa Cakes, have their own ‘Achieving Sustainability’ environmental programme.
