Dignity Through Trade

Our Annual Report for 2022/23

We are pleased to publish our latest Dignity Through Trade report, our annual report for 2022/23. This reports on the year to end January 2023, another difficult year in every part of the world. For JTS, we are trading in times of financial hardship in the UK. For our producers, the effects of the Ukraine war have been huge, with issues surrounding the cost of oil particularly challenging. However, we have continued to grow in terms of sales and this is testament to our amazing team, their close relationship with our producers and their agility in facing change. 


We continue to be totally committed to delivering as a fair trade business, working with others in the sector and putting the producers at the centre of this. It is clear that the fair trade sector is under strain at the moment but we believe our focus on direct relationships with producers is totally true to the principles of Fair Trade and we will remain steadfast in delivering against them. 

We really hope you will find the report an inspiring read. As we focus on the True Origin of our products and continue to put people and planet first, we hope we can count on your support to help us fulfil our mission to provide Dignity through Trade.
