We are certified Carbon Negative
Our farms have the net effect of removing 1kg carbon dioxide from the atmosphere for every 1kg coffee produced
​
We are within the 10% most efficient coffee farms in the World

FOR EVERY PALLET SOLD, ONE TREE IS PLANTED
Our Tree-Planting Initiative
For every pallet of coffee sold, one tree in Amazon Forest is planted. To involve the client even more in the Tree-Planting Initiative, we keep track of the growth development of the exact tree planted and share the information with the client throughout the years.
An essential improvement to the sustainability of the environment is the planting of trees, both to relieve the global shortage of trees for lumber, pulpwood and firewood, and to reduce the effects of global warming.
MAKING THE SWITCH TO RAIL
Reduction of CO2 emissions
100 Trucks
=
73 Tones CO2
2 Locomotives
=
5 Tones CO2
Reducing transport emissions
We can make big reductions in CO2 emissions by switching from road journeys to rail and sea freight, known as intermodal transport. This enabled us to reduce costs and offer better prices. We switched our journeys to rail freight between our farms and the Port in Brazil.
​
Where rail or sea routes are not feasible, we’re continuing to optimise how we transport goods by road.
