Ogawa Coffee holds Fairtrade Month every May, coinciding with World Fairtrade Day, which falls on the second Saturday of May every year. This year, with the theme of "Action to Connect with Everyone - Fairtrade Coffee," we are strengthening sales of fairtrade products and holding events and seminars.
Ogawa Coffee's Fair Trade Initiative
Ogawa Coffee obtained a license to manufacture International Fairtrade certified products in 2003, and has been selling International Fairtrade certified coffee since 2004.
In 2019, the company was recognized by the certified NPO Fair Trade Label Japan for its product sales achievements and its many years of hard work in promoting fair trade.
This is the first time a company has received this certification in Japan.
International Fairtrade Certified Coffee
Fair trade is a trading system in which agricultural products and other products from developing countries are imported and consumed at a fair price that takes into consideration the livelihood of farmers, rather than simply purchasing them at market price.
Ogawa Coffee obtained a manufacturing license for international fair trade certified products in 2003.
We started selling internationally fair trade certified coffee in 2004.
