Philosophy
At Ronnefeldt, sustainable behavior as a supplier of natural tea is not a passing trend, but an integral part of our daily work. For us, sustainable economic management means combining social and environmental aspects with our economic goals. This is the only way to ensure that we pass on an intact ecological, social, and economic framework to future generations. Our efforts are centered on active environmental protection, ecological product stewardship, the well-being of our employees, incorporating social and ecological aspects into the procurement of tea and other raw materials, protecting consumers, and safeguarding our customers' interests.
Ethics
Since 2013 we have been a member of the Ethical Tea Partnership (ETP), a non-profit organisation that works in specific tea growing countries to promote socially and environmentally sustainable business practices.
ETP audits tea producers and small farmers on a regular basis and helps them locally to meet internationally recognised standards.
ETP’s work improves the progress that is being made towards attaining the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals in tea-growing regions.
As well as supporting communities on the ground with our programmes across Africa and Asia, ETP also leads the sustainability agenda through piloting business innovations and influencing policy.
“Ronnefeldt supports these efforts by purchasing its raw materials preferably from ETP certified tea gardens.”
Our Partnership
Childaid Network is committed to the education of needy children and youth to eradicate poverty and to give them a better future.
The foundation’s work is focused primarily on the Assam tea region in north-eastern India, but it also has projects in Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar.
Childaid Network supports families in planting their own small tea gardens so that they can secure their own livelihood.
Around 1,000 families have already planted their own micro gardens and have organised themselves into cooperatives to sell the tea.
We plan to work even closer with Childaid Network in the future.
“Many things need to happen if we want to give children a chance at a better future: Fundamental improvements are necessary at nearly all public schools. Organisations like Childaid Network cannot reach this goal alone. This is why Ronnefeldt has partnered with Childaid Network to support its efforts, initiatives and projects.”
