At FICCA 2025 in Neiva, Colombia, KaapKargo, partner of Fair Winds Collective, showcased zero-emission, wind-powered maritime logistics. Sailing aboard Ide Min, the crew supports organic coffee and cacao producers, ensuring ethical, traceable, and sustainable trade from farm to Europe, inspiring cleaner, fairer, and climate-conscious global commerce.
The 6th-grade classes welcomed a special guest: Peggy Engelmann, former colleague and founder of Fair Winds Collective. She shared her inspiring story of transporting fair trade organic products across the Atlantic by sailing ship. The students explored topics of sustainable trade, life aboard a tall ship, and the environmental challenges facing our oceans today. Peggy’s message was clear: protecting the seas means rethinking how we transport goods. The visit ended on a sweet note—with a taste of fairly sailed, organic chocolate.
Deep in Colombia, the KaapKargo crew explored organic coffee and cacao farms, connecting with farmers and learning about sustainable, fair trade practices. Sailing aboard Ide Min under the Mission Zero initiative, in partnership with Fair Winds Collective, they combine wind-powered transport with ethical sourcing, creating direct, transparent, and meaningful trade experiences.
