I am aware of the formal trade campaign with a very specific focus on raising consumer awareness which operates under the certification of the Fairtrade mark and to have Fairtrade products widely available and used.
The use of any Fairtrade product by my Department would be subject to compliance with public procurement rules and it is a matter for the private enterprises supplying services such as cafeteria services in the Department to make their own commercial decisions in sourcing their supplies.
