Why fair trade is important

It means empowering a future generation to continue to produce food and other products, such as our beloved coffee and chocolate, while protecting the environment to meet ever-growing demands. With its community spirit, Esquires believe in encouraging and making it easy for customers to choose products with purpose that can change lives, starting with sourcing coffee and food that is natural and made responsibly.
