Driving a Fairer Future for Tea At Bogawantalawa Tea, we believe that a truly sustainable tea industry starts with dignity, fairness, and recognition for every worker along the value chain. That’s why we’ve been at the forefront of efforts to close the living wage gap in tea, working closely over the past three years with IDH, leading brands like Ahmad Tea, Twinings, Lipton, and Taylor’s, and other key stakeholders to co-create a scalable model for positive, systemic change. Today, we’re proud to see that hard work reach a major milestone: the pilot launch of the Collection & Distribution Mechanism (CDM). As one of the driving forces among growers, we’re honoured to take part in this pioneering initiative. Already, over 12,700 workers have received meaningful income top-ups through the CDM - a real step toward a more equitable and resilient global tea industry. And this is just the beginning. We remain committed to building a supply chain that ensures fair compensation, security, and dignity from leaf to cup.
