„According to TransFair USA, the Fair Trade certification improves farmers' economic stability by encouraging buyers to extend financial credit to farmer cooperatives and to develop long-term relationships. Starbucks Fair Trade Certified coffee is a dynamic blend of washed Arabica coffees with a flavor profile similar to Latin American coffees — a light to medium coffee with a soft acidity. "We are very excited about Hyatt's support of Commitment to Origins coffees," said John Culver, vice president and general manager of Foodservice for Starbucks. "By offering Starbucks Shade Grown Mexico and Fair Trade Certified coffees we are building upon our commitment to offer high quality products to Hyatt's guests.""The addition of Starbucks Commitment to Origins coffees is an invitation for Hyatt guests to help support the sustainability of coffee farming families around the globe, while enjoying the highest quality coffees," said Sue Mecklenburg, vice president of Business Practices for Starbucks.“

„For these farmers, Fair Trade means hope for the future. Fair Trade certification is a guarantee to consumers that family farmers receive a fair price - significantly higher than average - for their exceptional coffees, enabling millions of farming families worldwide to stay on their land, keep food on the table, and keep their children in school. Fair Trade assures quality from crop to cup with strict criteria for social and environmental standards. The Fair Trade model is backed by an internationally recognized monitoring system that has operated for more than 16 years worldwide.“

„The Fair Trade movement started in the 1980s as a way to make life better for the farmers and workers who supply the world with tea, coffee, cacao, fruit and other commodities. Many of these farmers don't have enough money for life's basic necessities such as electricity, clean water, housing and medical care.“
