  „Less than 1 percent of the coffee sold in the United States is considered fair-trade, but the movement appears to be growing. In September, Procter & Gamble said it would begin selling a more expensive fair-trade line of coffee, becoming the second of the four largest U.S. coffee sellers to offer fair-trade coffee. Sara Lee Corp., which markets the Chock Full o' Nuts and Chase & Sanborn brands, began selling fair trade coffee in 2001 and the Starbucks chain began in 2000.“

The socially responsible shareholders will call on Folgers to immediately begin offering its consumers the choice to buy "Fair Trade certified" coffee.“
