Name

The cola is named after the African philosophy of Ubuntu, which means humanity or fellow feeling; kindness, There is no connection between the cola and the Ubuntu open-source operating system (also named after the philosophy). Moreover, Ubuntu Cola is not an open-source cola.

Fairtrade

Ubuntu Cola's sugar was sourced from Fairtrade worker cooperatives in Kasinthula, Malawi and Kaleya, Zambia. Farmers who are members of the Fairtrade cooperative at Kasinthula received an income of $4 a day, which was six times the national average income.
