🍊 Celebrating the partnership between Zumex Group and PeelPioneers - a #FoodTech500 company this week for #WorldEnvironmentDay sheds light on a crucial aspect of sustainability in the food industry.

Happy #InternationalCoffeeDay! ☕ While we celebrate the global love for #coffee, it's essential to acknowledge the challenges the coffee sector faces on its journey towards sustainability and farmer prosperity. The Coffee Barometer Ethos Agriculture sheds light on the current state of sustainability in the coffee sector. Coffee has seen immense consumption growth. Yet, beneath this success lies an extractive production model that often prioritizes low-cost, commoditized coffee. This focus on cost reduction doesn't align with broader sustainability commitments, including climate action and achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs). Promising next steps include a shift towards regulatory compliance, greater emphasis on ethical sourcing, and investments in human rights protection, including healthcare, and environmentally friendly practices. Connect with us to discover how we can help you effectively manage your due diligence obligations, ensure social compliance, and mitigate risks throughout your supply chain.
