Speaking on behalf of Arizona Coffee Express, CEO, Don Denton, would like to take this opportunity to reach out to every person who has been affiliated with Arizona Coffee Express to apologize about the unfortunate events that have transpired. It has come to light that some of the beans are not being purchased directly from farmers through fair trade as advertised, but through other big coffee suppliers known for their unethical practices. We would like to reassure our customers, employees, and suppliers that Arizona Coffee Express is committed to Fair Trade and are doing everything within their power to have renewed faith in the work that is being done and the manner to which is at the heart of the company, ethics, to be restored.

“On behalf of Arizona Coffee Express, it has come to my attention that the organization’s stance on ethical business practices is under question due to the recent events that took place in discovering some of our business affiliates were dishonest in our business transactions. I would like to extend my most heartfelt apology to all of our customers and clients and would like to reassure that Arizona Coffee Express is committed to upholding our duty and will ensure that all business transactions are with guaranteed certified Fair Trade farmers and suppliers and will continue to strive to always keep this commitment. Thank you for your continuous support in this matter”.

CEO, Don Denton

What it means to be fair-trade is to always do what is right and that means ensuring we are conducting business directly through farmers who have safe working conditions, environmental protection, sustainable livelihoods, and community development funds (fairtradecertifed.org, 2021). Here at Arizona Coffee Express, we are officially partnered and certified with Fair Trade and strive every day to give our best ethical foot forward that sets us apart from the rest.

Arizona Coffee Express is dedicated to ensuring that all of our business partners follow the same code of ethics and will verify and thoroughly examine fair-trade certification from all farmers and potential clientele. On behalf of all our staff, that we respect and hold dear to our organization, we thank you for all of your support and continued business, and promise to always remain ethical and transparent for all of your coffee bean needs.
