Fairtrade Fortnight is heading into its second week. For those who read our two articles last week, you’ll now be aware of what the Fairtrade Foundation supports and how it is helping to fight against climate change for 2021.
Coinadrink Limited is a well-respected vending machine company that takes great pride in our sustainability efforts. Many of the products that our customers enjoy are indeed Fairtrade certified.
Fairtrade Fortnight occurs during the same two weeks of the year, intertwining February and March. It helps to raise awareness of the Fairtrade Foundation and what it supports, highlighting the issues we still face in the world. Far too many coffee farmers, gold miners and fruit pickers and more are exploited and underpaid for the world they put in.
Fairtrade Fortnight 2021 is a little different to previous years, though. The last 12 months have seen the world drawn together in new ways due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. So, this year, that connection within our world is going to be explored further. The topic for 2021 is climate change and how we all have the power to make a difference.
There is a good chance that you will have heard of Fairtrade, but knowing exactly what the foundation does may not be as clear. The next two weeks are dedicated to this organisation and are known as Fairtrade Fortnight. To mark this event, Coinadrink Limited the vending machine company will share a collection of articles explaining more about Fairtrade, what 2021 is dedicated to, and how we show our support as a trusted vending machine supplier.
This first article will explain a little bit more about Fairtrade in case you weren’t already aware. This will deliver a welcome starting point as we dive deeper into Fairtrade Fortnight right through to the 7th March.

The following article from Coinadrink Limited will explore not only the history of this special event, but also the coffee farming traditions typically surrounding this celebration. Read more
A few weeks back we mentioned that October is the month of Fairtrade; an entire four weeks dedicated to raising awareness of such a fantastic organisation. The first instance of Fairtrade was found in 1946, and it has been ensuring that workers in poorer countries get a better deal for the hard work that they put in ever since. It’s a common myth that Fairtrade is purely based around coffee farmers, but the reality is that it extends to a much broader product range. For the second Fairtrade blog this month, learn about them all below…
