Helping you to help others


UK Vending supports through our selective purchasing programmes the Fair Trade suppliers of coffee by offering the option to dispense Fair Trade or sustainable coffee from all our hot-drinks machines. Sustainable tea products are also now available.

We only deal with partners who trade responsibly and we already offer a range of drinks from sustainable certified sources, like Fairtrade and Brighter Tomorrow at Origin, but by 2010 we plan to source 30% of our drinks from certified sustainability schemes.

At UK Vending we sponsor 21 children in southern Africa through our UKV Guardian Angels Scheme. This does not mean we just send a little money from time - it does mean that we take responsibility in every possible way for these children. We feed, house and educate them and we look after their health and social care. We keep them safe - and this is only a small part of how we try to be a responsible business.
