New perspectives on sustainability: Löfbergs participates in The Coffee Sustainability Program

Sustainability must be embraced by all actors if the coffee industry is to survive and thrive. Hence, SCA have designed The Coffee Sustainability Program to explore what sustainability means and the challenges of acting sustainably across the world of coffee. A great initiative according to our colleagues Anna Nordström, coffee expert, and Kajsa-Lisa Ljudén, Head of Sustainability, who now have completed in the program.

-We at Löfbergs have long worked hard with sustainability issues, and it was very interesting to get new perspectives. Important aspects such as how the colonial history of coffee affects the way the market looks today triggered many thoughts for us. The program was also proof that we are really ahead of the curve and making wise decisions regarding our future sustainability work, says Kajsa-Lisa Ljudén.

- A perfect opportunity to combine our passion for coffee and sustainability. It was very educational to participate in the program together with people with different experiences and challenges. One of the participants ran a coffee farm in Brazil, others worked at a micro roastery or in the café industry. In addition, our teacher Erika Koss lived in Kenya for many years. I have long had a burning interest in taste and knowledge of coffee, and being able to add new knowledge about sustainability has really broadened and deepened my interest in coffee, says Anna Nordström.
