Our Impact work

Collaborative Supply Chains

We partner with people we trust.

People who build ethical supply chains, delivering positive impact and high quality coffee. We participate in a host of different ways, as touched on in the stories below.

GLOBAL CITIZENSHIP

In the places we work, we find people and organisations doing incredible work to uplift others or protect the natural world. We choose to participate and provide support to these projects based on our core value of Global Citizenship and an extension of our Collaborative Supply Chain model. You can read more about these activities in the story tiles below.

CLIMATE RISK MITIGATION

Climate change is an existential threat to all of us who work in coffee. We have employed scientists to work with farmers to build climate resilience through regenerative practices. We call this body of work Falcon on-Farm. Science-led and data-driven, Falcon on-Farm is our contribution to the wider challenge climate risk brings to all agriculture.
