HANLAN’S COFFEE COMPANY - ETHICAL PURCHASING POLICY

At Hanlan’s, we know that our customers like to drink only the finest coffee from around the world. We also recognize
that they want to be sure that the people who grow that coffee aer treated fairly. Many coffee producers provide their
employees with poor working condition and low pay, which aree practices that Hanlan’s does not support. -- [1] --
Coffee companies that buy their stock on the open market never know exactly where it comes from. But at Halan’s, we
take a different approach. We have exclusive contracts with farms in Guatemala, Ethiopia and Vietnam. -- [2] --.
Because of this, we know exactly who is producing our coffee and the conditions in which it is being grown. We
appreciate all the hard work of our farmers and ensure that they have acceptable working conditions and wages. But our
commitment doesn’t end there. -- [3] --. Hanlan’s pays them an additional 10 percent above current market prices as our
way of saying “thanks”.
Furthermore, to give even more back to these communities, we have started the Hanlan’s Development Foundation.
Each year through this organization, we put five percent of our total corporate profits into building schools, water pumps
and purification plants, and health care facilities in the towns and villages near where our coffee is grown. The main
goal is to make certain that all our workers’ children are safe, healthy, and have the chance to go to school and receive a
full education. -- [4] --.

they make a profit in virtual money. -- [2] --.
The game offers a level of detail and customization that is appreciated by users. It has even proven to be popular among

Announcement for Woodlands Business Owners

The Woodlands Merchants Associations is planning to host Thursday evening concerts on the Center Square
lawn from May 28 through July 2, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. We have held the concerts over the past few years
and have had a good turnout every time. However, these events do entail a significant expense for the
association, as we most pay our performers. As a result, we are offering local businesses the opportunity to
sponsor a concert. This will help the association to control costs while promoting your stores or shops to the
public.
A sponsorship includes a banner with your business name on it that will be attached to the performance stage.
You have the option of setting up a promotional booth on the lawn and are allowed to hand out flyers or give
away coupons and product samples. Those sponsoring a concert for $500 or more will also have thir business’s
name, logo, and contact information printed with event advertisements in The Woodland Times newspaper.
The Woodlands Merchants Association aims to bring together the business community and local residents, and
the sponsored concerts will be an enjoyable way to achieve that goal. If you would like to participate, contact
the event coordinator, Dan Perry, at [email protected] to finalize the sponsorship
arrangements.

Below is the concert schedule. Sponsorship rates were determined by the cost of the performer or band. Each
sponsorship package includes a banner and one promotional booth if desired. Co-sponsorship by two
companies is also permissible. Any distributed items are not part of the listed cost and must be paid for by the
