Growing, harvesting, and selling coffee - the right way

We’re particularly proud of the efforts and progress the NESCAFÉ team has made to only source the best quality coffee beans from well-cared-for farms, and selected coffee farmers who cultivate their farms using sustainable practices. This covers social, environmental and economic aspects, forming the basis of our Responsibly Sourced coffee supplies. Let’s take a closer look at some of the ways in which we ensure that the delicious cup of NESCAFÉ you enjoy every day is responsibly sourced.

Transparency and respect are at the core of our principles. Everyone involved wants the best for everyone else, as well as the planet, because we’re also aware of – and actively working on – our impact on the environment. We’ve always been 100% transparent about our strategic direction and responsible sourcing policies, with coffee traceable to farmer groups with proven sustainability credentials. These are the essential people working on a daily basis to grow the coffee beans that make the refreshing NESCAFÉ coffee you enjoy every day.

We take every step possible to ensure that sustainable agricultural practices are upheld and in line with global standards, and we can tangibly back those claims up. We work with highly credible programs and organizations, all including 3rd-party independent checks on the participating farmer groups. This means we get an objective, unbiased assessment, which shows us what’s working well, but also where we can improve. The organisations we work with include 4C Services, the Rainforest Alliance, and Fairtrade.
