Carbon, Climate, and Coffee Initiative

Under the Carbon, Climate, and Coffee Initiative, we track our collective carbon footprint, from the moment our contracted green coffee is put on a truck towards the port until the coffee is roasted and delivered to the end consumer. In turn, we invest US$ 0.03/lb on all green coffee purchases into our Impact Fund.

This fund supports carbon-sequestering agricultural practices and other innovative farmer-led projects contributing to the health and sustainable development in producer communities, and offering a solution to global climate change.

Cooperative coffees

We are an importer of Fair Trade and Organic coffee committed to improving the livelihood of small-scale coffee farmers, providing services to our members, and creating connections that have a regenerative and sustainable impact.

The producers we work with define the focus of our impact investments, and have consistently cited climate change, soil health, and increasing yields as top challenges facing their organizations.  We learned from our partners that promoting regenerative soils and organic practices provides solutions for many challenges facing independent smallholder farmers. An added benefit of this work is the ability of farmers to mitigate the global effects of climate change as healthier soils also sequester more carbon from the atmosphere.

Our Commitment to Climate Justice

We focus on mutually beneficial partnerships and building industry leading terms of trade, while assuming our share of responsibility toward a sustainable future. As leaders in organic agroforestry capable of producing carbon-neutral coffee, our supply partners’ resilience is critical to our collective future. Being on the frontline of the climate crisis, farmers know what action is needed most urgently. That is why we are centering our efforts on their leadership.

roadmap to

Resilience

2017

Launch Carbon, Climate, and Coffee Initiative

We track our carbon footprint and invest $0.03/lb on all green coffee purchases in farmer-led projects that support carbon sequestration.

2020

Launch the Cool Farm Tool Project

In this project, we work with coffee farmers to measure their environmental impact using the Cool Farm Tool, an online greenhouse gas emissions and soil carbon sequestration calculator.

2022

Environmental Service Premiums

On-farm carbon sequestration data is collected from 250 Cool Farm Tool pilot project participants and up to US $200k in premiums will be paid to carbon-smart farmers.

2022 - 2024

Scale

We will have systematized the pilot learnings, translating to equitable programming for our entire supply chain. We will be collecting carbon footprint data from our roaster members.

2025

Partnerships

We welcome ally participation and additional contributions into our Climate Justice programming, increasing our reach and impact.
