What does «responsibly sourced» mean in our value chain?
It means that our coffee is traceable to the group of farms where it was grown, and that defined social and environmental practices are incorporated into the process of coffee farmers and coffee suppliers.
Working together
Our coffee is traceable to the group of farms where it was grown and verified in accordance to sustainability standards from independent certifier programmes.
At Nescafé, we work with various external programmes who are independent third-party organizations, such as 4C, Rainforest Alliance, which have established their own publicly available sustainability standards.
The sustainability standards of the external programmes we work with, meet our Nestlé Responsible Sourcing Core Requirements, that encompass various aspects of coffee farming, including social and environmental practices, for example farmer's working conditions, optimizing soil fertilizers, among others.
Taking actions with purpose
We are taking actions to continue supporting coffee farmers in their communities wherever they are, so that they can improve their lands & livelihoods. Here below some examples of initiatives:
- • Supporting coffee farm renovation for better resilience and quality, by distributing over 290 million coffee plantlets since 2010.
- • Through more than 800 agronomists and across 16 countries, enabling more than 148’000* coffee farmer trainings every year to improve their farming practices.
