FROM CULTIVATION TO CUTTING
Sustainability
FAIR COFFEE
The greatest persuasive power is not in what we say, but in what we do. That is why we purchase more sustainably certified coffee types every year than we currently sell. In this way we make a sustainability statement and set an example that it is possible. And with success! Sales of our instant coffee are increasing every year with our current sustainability standards: organic, Fairtrade and UTZ/Rainforest Alliance. The ultimate goal is that by 2027 we will only trade with certified coffee.
SUSTAINABLE DNA
We have taken corporate social responsibility very seriously since the company was founded. It is part of our DNA. The integration of CSR has been incorporated into our management system. To achieve our goals in a concrete and measurable way, we work with certified standards. Our standards are the Sustainable Development Goals and the three P's of people, planet and profit. First and foremost, this meets the requirements of our customers. In addition, we can also proudly tell the outside world that good employment practices are characteristic of TB Brown.
INSTANT COFFEE
BECOMES CLIMATE NEUTRAL
Together with a number of our customers, we have started to become CO2 neutral. We are currently able to supply CO2-neutral coffee to several customers, and we are proud of that. CO2-neutral coffee means that we offset our emissions. We do this by investing in sustainable climate projects around the world, from forest conservation in Brazil to wind energy in India. On our way to a clean, healthy future, we reduce our energy consumption as much as possible. We equip the production areas with energy-efficient machines. The energy we use comes from our own solar panels.
ADVANCES IN PACKAGING
Collaborations throughout the entire chain are indispensable for radical sustainability. We are therefore proud of the collaboration with a packaging supplier for the development of a prototype coffee packaging made of PE monomaterial. The mono-material structure makes it possible to reuse, recycle and circulate the packaging many times. The first packaging has now been implemented by our customers.
