* The courage to think differently
* Contact with a supplier for organic fair trade coffee
* Approval of the management, if necessary
* Good communication in the workforce
Almost every company has a coffee kitchen. Often, the coffee is even free. That's great! But if it's not organic fair trade coffee, the people in the fields and nature pay the price. That's why I started an initiative at my company back then to switch coffee, and it worked. There were two major hurdles to overcome:
1. there were prejudices
The coffee would not taste or that the Fairtrade coffee was not suitable for the industrial coffee machines.
But organic fair trade coffee is now available for all types of machines, and it's delicious, too! The issue of taste can be quickly resolved with a coffee tasting. It is important to take the colleagues along and not to decide over their heads.
2. the price
Of course, organic fair coffee is more expensive. If the employer pays for it, this should be agreed upon. The employees may even be willing to pay a small premium for the coffee, but it should actually also be in the interest of the employer not to serve products that harm people and/or nature.
It is a small symbolic act with which employers can send a positive signal to the workforce. Sometimes, though, companies need just the one person to kick it off. Is that you?
