Transparency

Have you ever thought about the people and processes that make it possible for you to enjoy your cup of coffee? The many hands, the craftsmanship, and the journey behind it?

For us, coffee is about exactly that. It’s about connections, collaboration, and respect for the craftsmanship that goes into every single cup. And we believe that the path to great coffee begins with the people who grow the beans.

All too often, the supply chain overlooks the people and stories that make coffee possible. We don’t. We believe that transparency is the key to creating a more equitable responsible, and lasting coffee industry. That’s why we are committed to sharing the full story behind our coffee—how much we buy, at what price, and most importantly, from whom.

Transparency Report

While sipping on a cappuccino, have you ever wondered, how many hands have been involved in the journey of that cup of coffee?

It's a number that can be difficult to figure out. The coffee supply chain, like many others, often lacks transparency. At Coffee Collective, we've given a lot of thought to the individuals involved in the process of transforming coffee beans from a cherry to a roasted bean. Every day, we strive to share their stories and enhance the transparency of the coffee supply chain.

We have laid out all the numbers for you.

Collective Forest

At Coffee Collective, we believe that bold action is needed to address the climate crisis. At the same time, we must acknowledge how the coffee industry has historically contributed to climate change through the exploitation of labor and natural resources.

Out of a commitment to do our part for the climate, we planted the Collective Forest in November 2023—a key initiative to minimize the environmental impact of our activities. The forest includes 25 different species of trees, intentionally selected to restore biodiversity and offset CO2 emissions.

Spanning 21 hectares near Slagelse on Zealand, Denmark, this forest is more than just trees; it’s a vision for a forward-thinking restorative future.
