Grown Respectfully

Savour the flavour of better grown beans

NESCAFÉ’s responsible sourcing journey starts with the men and women who grow our coffee beans. They’re our coffee heroes, and we’re proud to call them our partner farmers. Our experts visit their farms to pass on innovative sustainable agricultural practices to ensure the future of coffee, helping them earn more, stay healthier and work more in tune with nature. After all, the more naturally and respectfully our coffee is grown, the better it’s going to taste in your cup.

Happy coffee growers and farmers

UK targets and ambitions

RESPECTFUL SOURCING: Securing the future of coffee with fully responsibly sourced coffee
Our coffee is responsibly sourced and certified through established and internationally recognised partners: 4C, Rainforest Alliance and UTZ.  
Our milk is responsibly sourced through our milk plan which is a partnership with First Milk, the UK’s largest farmer owned Dairy Cooperative. 

FARMER RESPECT: Improving farmers’ livelihoods and resilience.
The NESCAFÉ Plan enables higher income for farmers by upskilling them with business knowledge and supporting diversification; of which we deliver over 100,000 farmer trainings per year. 
We also donate over 10 million plantlets per year to farmers free of charge, helping resilience with higher yielding or more disease resistant plants.
