"Dunkin' Donuts' espresso-based beverages will only use Fair Trade Certified coffee beans. Fair Trade coffee beans are certified by an independent nonprofit organization, TransFair USA. TransFair ensures that the farmers who grow Fair Trade beans are able to sell them for a fair price. Fair Trade farmers are part of democratically organized cooperatives that use environmentally-friendly farming techniques. With this announcement, Dunkin' Donuts becomes one of the country's largest supporters of Fair Trade growers."
