Most of us visit a supermarket at least once a week so the next time you pop down to your local store why not show your support for Fairtrade. Just a simple action (such as handing in a Fairtrade petition card or talking to the store manager) can make a real difference – together we can demonstrate to New Zealand supermarkets that consumers want to see more Fairtrade Certified products on the shelves.
 

How Do I Petition my Local Supermarket?

1. Order or download and print a petition card – sign and add your address details.

2. Go to your local supermarket and hand in your petition card

Hand in your petition card either to the Customer Services Desk, a cashier or the Store Manager.

Optional additional step…
 

3. Ask to speak to the Store Manager about Fairtrade

For example: How many Fairtrade products do you stock? Why don’t you stock more/are you planning to stock more? Can you show me where they are in your store?

If you want to talk to your local store manager about Fairtrade but feel you want to learn more before approaching them, visit the Tool Kit for handy hints and information on how to do this.
