The Council of Sutton Council resolved on 13/07/2026 to approve recommendations to renew support for Fairtrade. The council will offer Fairtrade products at meetings and offices, promote Fairtrade through communications, work with the Sutton Fairtrade community group, encourage local businesses to champion Fairtrade, and take part in national campaigns. Additionally, the council will review its procurement policy to embed Fairtrade as a weighted criterion, require caterers to supply Fairtrade products, write to government ministers and Fairtrade International calling for increased international development support, review outsourced contract uniforms for sustainably sourced cotton, and write to schools encouraging Fairtrade or equivalent school uniform options.
