One-hundred percent of t-shirts that Cardiff University Students’ Union purchases for campaigns will now be fairtrade, a Student Council vote has decided.
The motion was overwhelmingly passed on Tuesday April 29, after the original proposal of buying half of all T-shirts Fairtrade was amended.
The move comes after Cardiff University was awarded Fairtrade status last year.
The Union currently stocks a range of Fairtrade products such as hoodies, chocolate and savoury snacks.
A Union spokesperson said: “We hope that the new focus on fairtrade T-shirts will provide more evidence for the re-application of its fairtrade status in the next academic year.”
