Fair trade is our sole corporate purpose. In 2025 we celebrate our 50th anniversary. In the first year of our existence, we achieved a turnover of the equivalent of 1.33 million euros – around 78 million euros in 2022. We have proven that our strategy is also economically viable. Our trading partners are 117 cooperatives, marketing organizations and committed private enterprises in 45 countries of Africa, Latin America, Asia and Europe. Long-term business relationships under fair conditions, long-standing and trustful cooperation as well as transparency at any level of our commercial chains are typical of our relationships with our partners. Our products offer a wide range of ca. 350 food products and ca. 600 handicraft articles, that are subject to regular and comprehensive quality controls. We achieve around 86 per cent of our food sales with products from certified organic cultivation. Since 2022, GEPA in Germany has been climate neutral – from the port to the shelf. GEPA offsets these newly measured emissions via a certified project of the Klima-Kollekte With Klimakollekte, we compensate the emissions caused by the sea transport of our coffee range. Our honey range is completely climate-neutral, from the comb to the jar.
