Beyers Koffie chooses voluntarily for climate neutral coffee
Innovation and sustainability are not just empty phrases for the Beyers company. Today, we are more committed than ever to placing innovative products on the market, in a socially responsible way. We do so with respect for both people and nature.
That’s why we choose volontarily for climate neutral coffee: by combining CO2 reduction in our factory and CO2 compensation through Gold Standard climate projects. We do this for our brands: Beyers, Fort, Metropole. And with respect for our sublime taste!
Why did we choose for climate neutral coffee?
Climate change is the biggest threat for coffee. Already since 2008, Beyers Koffie calculates and reduces its CO2 emissions. Despite large efforts by all stakeholders in the coffee value chain some CO2 emissions are inevitable.
Therefore, Beyers Koffie chooses voluntarily to take responsibility for the social costs that go hand in hand with CO2 emissions. We do so by compensating the CO2 emissions of our Beyers coffee brands with Gold Standard certified climate projects in the South.
What does CO2 compensation mean?
Gold Standard certifications guarantee Beyers Koffie they invest in a project in a developing country that lowers the carbon emissions locally. We do this for the CO2 emissions that we cannot reduce here and now, guaranteeing a zero operation for the climate.
Moreover, Gold Standard climate projects also guarantee socio-economic criteria, such as employment, benefiting the local people.
Examples of projects are:
• Improved woodstoves in Uganda: saving trees and improving the health of the local people
• Wastewater treatment in Thailand: reducing fossil fuel use, improving air and water quality, creating local jobs
