We're committed to sourcing our coffee beans in a way that positively impacts nature and the lives of coffee farmers.
Coffee is at the absolute core of our business and we believe that great coffee has the power to create positive change. We make careful choices about the coffee we buy, working with the Rainforest Alliance to source our famous beans to their high standard.
100% of our coffee beans in the UK are Rainforest Alliance Certified.
We’ll collaborate with coffee experts to run projects focused on implementing more sustainable coffee farming methods.
We’ll assess the impact our business has on nature, and set specific targets to reduce it.
We ensure that 100% of our coffee beans come from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms. This means that for every cup of coffee we serve, we invest back into the coffee-growing communities we depend on.
At present, due to global supply chain disruptions, we are temporarily unable to source enough certified coffee with the Rainforest Alliance seal to maintain 100% coverage in our stores, Costa Express, and Ready to Drink and At Home ranges. These products continue to contain at least 70% Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee ingredients.
We'll return to sourcing all our coffee from Rainforest Alliance Certified farms as soon as these disruptions ease. Find out more here.
The Rainforest Alliance is an international non-profit organisation, working to create a better future for people and nature by making responsible business the new normal.
By working together with farmers, businesses and consumers, its aim is to protect forests, improve the livelihoods of farmers and farming communities, and help them adapt to climate change.
The Rainforest Alliance, and its little green frog seal, is recognised by companies and consumers around the world as a symbol of environmental, social and economic sustainability.
Rainforest Alliance certification makes a huge impact across a whole range of different areas. These can be split up into three sections: people, planet and profit.
We're creating, choosing and championing more sustainable cups and packaging solutions, promoting recycling and driving reuse wherever we can.
