Re-certification as a Fairtrade University
Our combined efforts at the University to use Fairtrade products have been successful. FAU’s application for the renewal of its status as a “Fairtrade University” has been approved for a further two years. We are pleased to be part of the network of German Fairtrade Universities, which now comprises 33 universities. Worldwide, this campaign is also available in Great Britain, Brazil, Poland and South Korea.
As a Fairtrade partner, we ask all university members to continue to use Fairtrade products even more in the future – whether at meetings, in the various departments or at events of any kind – and also to tell us which Fairtrade products you use. There is a growing offer that includes not only coffee, tea, sugar, pastries and chocolate: https://www.fairtrade-deutschland.de/produkte. In the canteens and cafeterias of the Studentenwerk Erlangen-Nürnberg you can already enjoy many Fairtrade products.
To maintain the Fairtrade University status at FAU, a steering group has been established which is committed to bringing even more fair trade products to the university and also increasing acceptance for fair trade through workshops. Help us to further support fair trade and establish it as a standard in our society by joining the steering group.
