Social responsibility

We at Friends of Tea are part of a global community. That's why we take responsibility and act conscientiously, both ecologically and ethically. The way we do business today should not have a negative impact on our environment or the lives of future generations. Sustainability is therefore particularly important to us.

We believe that diversity is the key to the success of open societies and successful companies. Creativity and outstanding achievements can only flourish in an open environment. That's why we foster such a culture of equal opportunity.

We are all part of the ecosystem of our planet. That's why we try to pay attention to ethical and ecological standards with our partners and suppliers as well. We test our products on friends, not on animals.

From our supply chain to our own packaging, we try to work in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

To reduce our environmental impact, we try to take many small everyday measures: we send invoices by email to save paper. For office electricity, devices and paper – including our packaging – we try to choose the most environmentally friendly options possible.

 

Supporting reforestation projects

Since 2009, PLANT-MY-TREE® has been running reforestation projects to offset CO2 throughout Germany. The goal is environmental and climate protection in Germany – in other words, where our CO2 emissions occur.

In 2021, we supported PLANT-MY-TREE® in planting trees in Germany.
