Ipswich Borough Council is to work towards achieving Fair Trade status.
The Council has decided it will use Fair Trade tea and coffee and other goods in internal catering but also to encourage and promote the use of Fair trade products elsewhere in the town. Councillors will join other interested organisations on a special steering committee to ensure progress is made before next year's Fair Trade fortnight. The decision was taken at a meeting of Council.
Fair Trade encompasses a range of goods, from coffee, chocolate, tea and bananas, to handcrafts such as clothing, household items and decorative arts.
