Value from
crop to cup

Our value

We believe that sustainability in the future can only be achieved by an industry that generates value for all its stakeholders.

The tea industry employs around 13 million people worldwide. Many are smallholder farmers. Working in the tea industry provides a livelihood for them and their families. We believe that’s what makes value from crop to cup.

Our partners

Explore innovation and initiatives

To create value from crop to cup, we work with our partners on increasing the volumes of certified tea such as Rainforest Alliance Certified ™ teas, UTZ and Fairtrade. We recognize though that certification is only a tool and not a goal in itself. Van Rees Group believes in practical initiatives and that an industry approach is needed to create real changes. For this reason, we are very much committed to support such initiatives.

As a global tea supplier, we have a responsibility to all employees in our offices all around the world
