Creating positive impact for people, planet and progress
Together with our partners, we’re working to develop sustainable business models, create positive on-the-ground impact and improve sector governance in key coffee-producing countries.
Making living income and climate resilience the norm
The impact of climate change and the global cost of living crisis is threatening the future of coffee farming. To protect the world’s most popular drink – and those who produce it – we need to rethink the system.
Our goal is a world in which all coffee farming households earn at least a living income, where risk and value are distributed fairly throughout the supply chain and where coffee is a thriving part of a healthy ecosystem.
Driving an active convening agenda, we work with partners on sourcing practices and creating field-level impact through innovative business models that challenge the current distribution of risk and value – providing better incomes for coffee farmers and securing the future of their climate-dependent crop.
“For almost ten years, all coffee products originating from our PPI compact in Krong Nang district have always met the market requirement of Glyphosate residue. I attribute this success to the fruitful partnership with IDH, JDE, local authorities, and especially farmers. JDE is our committed buyer.”
