FAIR FOR LIFE Cinnamon
CONTINUOUSLY IMPROVING TRIPPER’ SUPPLY CHAIN SUSTAINABILITY
YAYASAN TEA (Tripper Environment Awareness) is TRIPPER’s foundation dedicated to improving
corporate social responsibility.
Managing and improving the social and environmental impacts of the company’s business is a top
priority for us.
Also, through the Yayasan TEA, we will help to develop strategies and projects together with our suppliers that contribute to a sustainable development of their communities. The certifications that we choose, such as Fair For Life Fair Trade program, or Organic, are the main ways to create these development opportunities.
With our Yayasan, we commit to act respectfully with our customers and all the partners in our supply chains to contribute to making Indonesia a better place !
Feel free to contact us for more information on our project and how to contribute.
CINNAMON FAIR FOR LIFE - FAIR TRADE CERTIFIED
After one year of joint efforts with Sumatran cinnamon farmers, we were rewarded with the Fair For
Life certification in April!
We are continuously improving our relationships with our suppliers and collectors in Sumatra to
fulfill their community’s will as well as Tripper’s goals.
Next step is to gather the Fair Trade committee representatives (workers, harvesters, collectors and tripper representatives) and think up ideas to select together the most adequate projects to develop (free distribution of seedlings, English classes, First aid training, setting up eco libraries, …)
WORKING CLOSER WITH VANILLA AND CLOVES SUPPLIERS IN NORTH
SULAWESI
As we did with our cinnamon supplier, Mister Haji Tjap, we are working, step by step, towards a
Social Responsible certification of the vanilla and cloves producers in Tombato, North Sulawesi.
Following the same model used with our Sumatran cinnamon farmers we are working on social aspects,
wages, working conditions... and also environmental topics!
The response of the community has been positive with projects to follow.

Turmeric: What's in this Superfood?
Turmeric is more than just a spice! It may be the key to your health. Well-known for its peppery, warm, pungent and mild fragrance; turmeric has been widely used as a food ingredient and natural colorant. However its steady increase in demand during these past few years can be attributed to a much more valuable benefit. Curcumin, the primary pharmacological agent in turmeric is capable of exerting powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidants which boost immunity, and brain derived neurotropic factors.
The bright yellow spices can be consumed or applied topically as a healing remedy for an extensive variety of conditions, including heart disease, cancer, arthritis, Alzheimer disease, hemorrhages, jaundice, menstrual difficulties, colic, bruises, and wounds.
Tripper is pleased to deliver LORI50O, the best-selling ground product of
our organic turmeric line. A dash of LORI50O in your daily meals such as in salads, milk, scrambled
eggs, soup, rice, vegetables, tea, or cakes will not only add flavor but might be the key to your
health too!

ECONOMIC SNAPSHOT OF INDONESIA:
Bumpy road ahead for new President Jokowi
The Indonesian economy grew 5 % in 2014. In any western country this figure would be amazing but for Indonesia this was the slowest growth in 5 years.
With a new president full of ambition and vision everyone had high hopes
for 2015 but so far the results have been disappointing to say the least:
Exports of commodities such as coal and palm oil have sharply declined; Domestic consumption
normally booming is down. Indonesians bought less cars, motorcycles and food than in previous years.
With both exports and domestic consumption down, the only thing that might save the day is for all the planned government infrastructure projects to come into effect. Red tape combined with political bickering is slowing the progress.
The numbers speak for themselves: in 2015 the government had planned to spend US$ 22 billion on infrastructure and as of May 1st they had spent … less than US$ 1 billion. Clearly the road to economic recovery will not be easy but Indonesia has seen much worse during the 1997 Asian crisis. This young democracy is full of potential and has all the resources to overcome this recent slowdown.
