3. FAIRTRADE Registration The Greenfield estate is included on the International Fairtrade Tea Register. A Social Committee (Joint body), made up of elected representatives from the estate residents, is responsible for deciding how funding is used with regard to improving facilities on the estate. Under the Fairtrade system, a Social Premium is levied on the cost of the tea, and this Premium is paid to the Social Committee. A clear audit trail exists for the Social Premium, and regular inspections ensure the integrity of the Social Premium system. Recently a new Social Centre has been built on the estate from the Social Premium money.
