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. As already 50% of Lipton Quality Black and Lipton Yellow Label in Australia comes from Rainforest Alliance certified farms, we aim to achieve full certification by 2015. Similarly, 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.

The 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.

The Rainforest Alliance, an independent non-government organisation, has started the process of certifying the tea estates from which we source our Lipton Black tea - both those we own and throse we buy from. They started with our own tea estate Lipton Tea Gardens in Kericho Kenya.
After Kericho became certified in June 2007, The Rainforest Alliance started to work with other farms we buy from. To date, plantations in Kericho, Tanzania and India have been certified.
