Ronnefeldt World Of Tea Sustainability Report
Ronnefeldt Sustainability Report

Naturally guided by passion and responsibility

Tea is grown throughout the world. Unfortunately, the environmental standards in many of these countries are often low. For Ronnefeldt, organic production is particularly relevant, since the raw material tea as a primary product is affected by climate change and environmental pollution.

This has an impact on the foundation on which our business is built.

This is why it is important to us to procure many different varieties in organic quality and to minimise our use of resources and packaging materials.

To ensure environmental protection in the growing regions we subject our suppliers to mandatory requirements regarding compliance with the statutory provisions on plant protection products and pollutants.

Childaid network

Childaid Network is committed to the education of needy children and youth to eradicate poverty and to give them a better future.

The foundation’s work is focused primarily on the Assam tea region in north-eastern India, but it also has projects in Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar.

Childaid Network supports families in planting their own small tea gardens so that they can secure their own livelihood.

Around 1,000 families have already planted their own micro gardens and have organised themselves into cooperatives to sell the tea.

We plan to work even closer with Childaid Network in the future.

“Many things need to happen if we want to give children a chance at a better future: Fundamental improvements are necessary at nearly all public schools. Organisations like Childaid Network cannot reach this goal alone. This is why Ronnefeldt has partnered with Childaid Network to support its efforts, initiatives and projects.”
