  „In 1994, the first cost cutting measures were taken. In 1995, the Fair Trade Verein (Fair Trade association) was founded as a gepa sister company. Later, the Fair Trade Verein was commissioned to do educational work and offer assistance to trading partners. In the same year originated the Fair Trade Beteiligungsgesellschaft (equity investment company), a 100 per cent gepa daughter, with the purpose of offering loans for gepa's capital intensive trading activities.“
