ChariTea Yerba Mate

Meet the UK Managing Director of ChariTea - Julian Warowioff

"Having experienced the inefficiencies of traditional development aid first hand, our founder Paul wanted to create a social business that was self-sustaining, instead of having to constantly raise donations. We work with smallholder farmers in the Global South and we believe the best way of empowering them is through fair trade – by paying fair prices, providing access to international markets, and the security of long-term contracts. We think companies shouldn’t solely exist to benefit their shareholders whilst charities can alleviate the social injustices done to producing countries. Instead, every business has the moral obligation to be a good citizen and take responsibility for their actions. We have always championed the belief that business can be a force for good and be successful – it is possible to achieve both."
