OUR HANDS-ON COMMITMENT

THE RAINFOREST ALLIANCE

The Rainforest Alliance is an independent organisation that works with individuals, communities and companies whose livelihoods depend on the land to reduce environmental impacts and increase social and economic benefits.
We are committed to having all Lipton Yellow Label tea bags sold in Europe certified by the Rainforest Alliance by 2010. We intend to extend certification to all Lipton tea bags sold globally by 2015.

The Rainforest Alliance pioneered the practice of setting standards and certifying well-managed forests nearly 20 years ago, and developed comprehensive principles and standards for sustainable agriculture shortly thereafter.
Rainforest Alliance works with a number of crops, including coffee, bananas, wood, and chocolate. The companies they work with include Kraft, Chiquita, McDonalds Innocent Smoothies and Ikea.
For more information, please refer to www.rainforest-alliance.org
We are committed to sourcing all our tea sustainably. However, given the scope of this ambition we have to take a step by step approach. To that extent, Lipton has asked the Rainforest Alliance to start by certifying tea farms in Africa, including the Lipton Tea Gardens.
