Our values make us different.
At Sainsbury's, value isn't just about price, it's about the beliefs and the values that we hold too. So when farmers in the Windward islands were hit by hurricane Dean and in the Dominican Republic, tropical storm Olga, we took it personally. Every banana we sell in Sainsbury's is a Fairtrade banana and we have a long-term relationship with the farmers that grow them. Our commitment to continue sourcing Fairtrade bananas has helped give them the confidence they need to replant their banana farms and rebuild their communities.
