Coffee is at the heart of what we do. To help ensure the quality and integrity of every cup, depends on a sustainable supply chain that supports thriving farming communities and healthy ecosystems. This means we make careful choices about the coffee we buy, working with trusted partners and certification standards such as the Rainforest Alliance, to source our famous beans to their standards.
Costa Coffee x Rainforest Alliance
The coffee beans we source in the UK are Rainforest Alliance Certified. This means that for every cup of coffee we deliver, we invest back into the coffee-growing communities that help make our coffee possible.
The Rainforest Alliance is an international non-profit organisation whose goal is to create a more sustainable future by using social and market forces to protect nature and improve the lives of farmers and forest communities.
By sourcing our beans from Rainforest Alliances Certified farms, we help to support the people and places behind the coffee that you enjoy.
