  February is Whole Trade Guarantee month!  Our Whole Trade Guarantee~A commitment to ethical trade, the environment and quality products.  At WFM, we believe we have a responsibility toward all people inlvoved in our business-shoppers, shareholders, Team Members and suppliers.  In a shrinking global marketplace we have been looking for a way to expand this social responsibility to producer communities in developing countries, where we source some of our products.  The result is the Whole Trade Program, a logical extension of our current values which promote quality in everything we do, from products and business practices to caring for our environment.  The products in this program must meet specific criteria that demand quality in four areas of responsibility:

  Meets our high Quality Standards, Provides more money to producers, Ensures better wages and working conditions for workers, Cares for the environment!

  Choosing Whole Trade products gives you the shopper the opportunity to use your buying power to ensure a healthy working environment for producers in developing countries!  With each purchase of these products, one percent of the retail price goes to the Whole Planet Foundation, which is creating real results in the fight against poverty.  For more information, visit www.wholeplanetfoundation.org!
