Dutch Question: Heeft het merk (bedrijf) een lijst van koffie en/of thee gepubliceerd die samen meer dan 90% van het inkoopvolume vertegenwoordigen?
German Question: Hat die Marke/das Unternehmen eine Liste von den Produzenten veröffentlicht, die zusammen das Einkaufsvolumen von mehr als 90% des gesamten Kaffees oder Tees liefern?

Reference

One of the ultimate (and unusual) ways to boost transparency is to share the supplier list with other brands (as usual within most MSI’s) or even better, to put the supplier list online. See also Apparel & Footwear Question 4. In the Netherlands, the brand Fair Trade Original mentions the coffee and tea suppliers in the annual report.
