GEPA – from the idea of action to the Fair Trade company

In the more than thirty years of its existence, Fair Trade has experienced a considerable development and become a serious and well-known economic system, offering a real alternative to conscious consumers, and a social development perspective to producer groups who are disadvantaged on the world market.

GEPA combines social, ecological and high product quality with efficiency. Meanwhile, we offer a great variety of fairly traded products whose quality is far above average, also in comparison with the conventional market.

At the beginning there was an idea – today, GEPA is Europe’s biggest Fair Trade company with an annual turnover of 58,4 million EUR. We buy from roundabout 190 overseas trading partners and offer our products for sale in world shops, supermarkets and health food stores as well as our own online shop.
Representatives from churches, industry and commerce as well as numerous VIPs – they all promote Fair Trade and GEPA!
