All our coffee is 100% Certified
Our coffees are certified with Rainforest Alliance, Fair Trade or bio-skal certification. As one of the founders of RFA, we see certification as the foundation of sustainable practice.
We invest in climate resillient farming
Through using the right farming methods and coffee varieties, the effects of climate change on farming can be reduced.
Our ambition is to take it further:
100% climate friendly coffee from bean to store
Investing in Climate mitigation
Besides making farmers more resilient to climate change, we want to reduce the impact of farming on the environment as much as possible.
Reduce, reuse and renewable
Continues efforts to reduce our environmental impact will include - among others - a more efficient roaster and 54% less energy bought from the grid.
increasing awareness
Communicate issues and what we can do about them within our company, our sector, to clients and customers.
Coffee and climate: one impacts another
Coffee is vulnerable to climate change
The yield and the quality of the coffee are severely affected by changes in temperature and weather. Climate change tangibly affects our world: the areas in which coffee is grown experience more and more weather changes that threaten the quality and yield of coffee, and through that they also threaten the livelihood of the farmers who grow the coffee. While demand will rise 2-3 times by 2050, it is expected that 50% of the land suitable for growing coffee will be lost.
Coffee affects the environment too
Watering the plants, cleaning the coffee cherries of their skin for drying, the roasting and packaging, and yes – brewing the coffee at home or in a bar – can have a great impact on the environment. Which method you pick to do any of the above will make an enormous difference to the impact the coffee has on the environment. In addition, lack of knowledge on farming, soil erosion and deforestation are commonplace in unsustainable coffee production.
Our ambitions take it further
Sustainability is continuous movement towards more sustainable solutions, towards more sustainable ways to carry out our activities. It’s not just a box to tick, it requires attention with everything we do, every day. That’s why we don’t stop here, we set our ambitions higher.
