Four ways consumers and companies alike can make the coffee libation of our choice more sustainable for the planet.
Sustainability starts in the primarily developing countries where coffee beans are grown and harvested, often on remote farms. Smallholder farmers need ways to increase productivity for a sustainable livelihood. Coffee bean growers need to pay field workers fair and equitable wages. The same goes for distributors whose employees pack and load beans on pallets for shipping worldwide to processing facilities and eventually to consumers' cups.
Organizations are using advanced technologies to capture information as coffee beans travel from farms to consumers. Digitalization can surface data insights to help farmers achieve long-term goals like sustainable land use and economic well-being. One example is a social enterprise in Uganda working closely with an ecosystem of smallholder farmers and coffee producers to digitally transform the supply chain from seedling to export. With SAP Rural Sourcing Management, the organization reduced manual systems by 90%. Farmers have greater data transparency that supports sustainable coffee production, including fair pricing and Rainforest Alliance certification.
