Sustainability

Our Ambition

Guided by our purpose

At JDE Peet's, we unleash the possibilities of coffee & tea to create a better future. Coffee & tea create possibilities for farmers and their families, our suppliers, customers, consumers and our employees. By working together, we believe that our entire ecosystem can benefit and create a better future for all.

The core of our sustainability strategy comprises three thematic pillars aimed at ensuring we source our raw materials responsibly, take good care of the environment and engage our own employees and communities, all underpinned by our commitment to operate responsibly across our operations and value chain. Our strategy focuses on those issues that are most material to our business and where, together with our partners, we can have the greatest impact.

Responsible Sourcing

Common Grounds

Coffee & tea are our two primary raw materials. We source approximately 8% of the world's green coffee and less than 1% of the world's tea. However, both products are grown in countries that face significant socio-economic and environmental challenges. Through our Common Grounds responsible sourcing and supplier engagement programme, we are committed to a sustained supply of coffee & tea from a diversity of origins that supports farming communities’ vision of prosperity and contributes to healthy ecosystems.

ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP

MINIMISED FOOTPRINT

As an organisation, we are committed to minimising our environmental footprint across this network while providing quality products that meet the needs and preferences of our customers and consumers. We also take into account our environmental footprint along the full value chain, for instance through the introduction of more sustainable packaging.

ENGAGING OUR COMMUNITIIES, EMPLOYEES AND CONSUMERS

CONNECTED PEOPLE

Coffee & tea are at the heart of life, providing warmth and refreshment for moments big and small, happy and sad. This gives JDE Peet’s a wonderful role to play. Because our products have a unique ability to help bring people together and create stronger, more connected communities. We believe it is our responsibility to do this wherever possible.
