Ethical Tea Partnership
The Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP) is a unique organisation dedicated to improving the lives of tea workers and their communities. Founded in 1997, ETP collaborates with tea producers, brands, and retailers to promote sustainable practices within the tea industry.
Our core mission is to ensure that tea is produced in a way that is socially responsible, environmentally sustainable, and economically viable. We work closely with tea estates to implement best practices that enhance the welfare of workers and their families.
- Worker Welfare: ETP focuses on improving working conditions, ensuring fair wages, and promoting health and safety standards for tea workers.
- Environmental Sustainability: We advocate for sustainable farming practices that protect biodiversity and reduce the environmental impact of tea production.
- Community Development: ETP invests in community projects that provide education, healthcare, and infrastructure improvements for tea-growing communities.
Through our partnerships, we aim to create a transparent supply chain that benefits all stakeholders involved. Our vision is a world where tea is produced ethically, and every worker is treated with dignity and respect.
We believe that by working together, we can transform the tea industry into a force for good, ensuring that the enjoyment of tea contributes positively to the lives of those who grow it.
