Why Buyer Expectations Are Changing

The Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has made carbon accounting non-negotiable. For coffee, Scope 3 emissions make up over 90% of total impact, from fertiliser and land use to transport and roasting.

Without it, deals stall; with it, your coffee becomes a preferred, low-risk choice.

SBTi Requirements

Corporate buyers must measure and reduce Scope 3 emissions across their supply chain to achieve science-based targets.

Data Demands

Buyers are asking for farm-level data on fertilizer use, land management, and processing to build accurate baselines.

Competitive Advantage

Traders who provide verified LCA data win tenders and strengthen relationships with sustainability-focused buyers.

The Coffee Carbon Footprint: What’s in Your Cup?

For millions around the world, coffee is more than a beverage—it’s a ritual. The scent. The steam. The silence before the first sip. It’s how mornings begin and conversations unfold. Coffee is culture. Comfort. Energy. Identity. But what’s hidden in that cup is a story that few want to talk about. One that starts in tropical soils, snakes through energy-intensive processing, and ends with emissions that rival some of the world’s dirtiest supply chains. If your coffee could ta
