Our sustainability journey started 30 years ago

We have nearly thirty years' experience in our coffee cups, thanks to Olam’s legacy. You could say we’ve got coffee traceability down to an art. Today we source green coffee from an estimated 40,000 farmers and have a year-round presence in 18 coffee origins across Africa, Asia and Latin America as part of our ethical coffee farming goals. Curious? Discover how we’re charging ahead on strong farmer partnerships and ethical coffee sourcing with more steam than a frothy latte.

Sustainability must-knows

Addressing the root cause of child labor in coffee

High poverty rates in rural areas and a lack of school infrastructure result in a high risk of child labor in some coffee growing regions. While there are often complex socio-economic factors at play, child labor in coffee or any industry is never acceptable.

Joining forces across the globe for good

In 2019 we set up a multi-stakeholder sustainability program to tackle deforestation and improve economic opportunities for coffee farmers in Peru, using a circular coffee fund generated from the sale of coffee waste in the Netherlands.

Tailoring support to each coffee farmer’s reality

In coffee farming we know there’s no one-size-fits-all solutions, as each farmer and region has different conditions that will shape the technical, educational and support services they need from us. That's why we’re re-designing ofi’s extension services model for a segmented, more personal approach, where our involvement is tailored according to farm size, yields, skills and willingness to invest.
