Responding to a changing world
We are committed to working responsibly with the farmers and communities around the world who produce the ingredients used to make our drinks.
With every cup you drink, you are helping to protect the environment and ensure a good standard of living for our Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farmers, workers and their families around the world.
Helping you to help others
We support communities and environments from which we source our ingredients.
We work with The Rainforest Alliance to source coffee and tea from farms that have been certified, helping to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods for grower communities.
Half our teas and coffees contain Rainforest Alliance Certified™ ingredients.
Brighter Tomorrow™
This is our commitment to sustainability programs under The Bright Tea Co.™ brand.
One of our initiatives supports farmer training in Africa. Tea farmers learn sustainable growing practices, resulting in higher quality tea crops and improved income and quality of life for themselves and their families.
What does this mean for you?
Whenever you enjoy any of our teas or coffees from Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms you are helping to protect ecosystems as habitats for wildlife and plants, and conserve biodiversity on this planet.
In addition, you will help protect the rights and well-being of plantation workers and their local communities.

What is the Rainforest Alliance Certification?
The Rainforest Alliance is an international, not-for-profit environmental organisation with more than 20 years’ experience in the development and promotion of standards for sustainable forestry, farming and tourism. It works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behaviour.
Rainforest Alliance Certification encourages more sustainable farming practices, helping farmers to reduce their costs, improve their crops and earn a better living from their land. In addition, farm workers, and their families, benefit from better conditions, decent housing and access to medical care and education. And the environment is protected too.
By choosing to buy from Rainforest Alliance Certified™ farms, Mars Drinks is ensuring that your favourite ALTERRA® Coffee roasters coffee and The Bright Tea Co™ Teas not only taste great but they are good for people and the planet too.
