corporate responsibility
Working from Crop to Cup
At the
source
JDE's responsible sourcing program includes 3 core areas:
- We support global partnerships and origin projects to address the most challenging coffee & tea sustainability issues.
- We purchase certified coffee & tea with internationally recognised standards such as: UTZ, Rainforest Alliance and Fair Trade.
- Through our Supplier Initiative, we partner directly with our suppliers to improve working conditions and protect natural resources where coffee & tea are grown.
within
our company
In our manufacturing and logistics, we work hard to minimise the impact on our environment.
- By 2020, we aim to reduce the amount of energy we use in our manufacturing by 10% and to eliminate waste sent to landfill.
- Renewable energy already comprises one-fifth of our total manufacturing energy use.
- By combining two coffee businesses, we have been able to streamline deliveries to our customers while increasing the load per truck and decreasing the number of kilometers traveled.
for our
Consumers
We are driven by our belief: Everyone Deserves the Coffee They Love
- We believe that coffee & tea moments between people build stronger communities.
- We acknowledge that drinking coffee & tea in moderation can be part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
