Overview¶
Environmental sustainability in coffee encompasses reducing the ecological footprint of coffee production and trade across the entire value chain. Key focus areas include water use and contamination in wet processing, deforestation and biodiversity loss at origin, packaging waste in retail, carbon emissions from roasting and shipping, and the long-term viability of coffee-growing ecosystems threatened by climate change. Certifications such as Rainforest Alliance and organic standards provide frameworks for measuring and communicating sustainability performance to buyers and consumers.
