Löfbergs’s new sustainability report shows that the company has educated a record number of small-scale coffee farmers, increased the share of certified coffee, halved its own climate impact and that more packaging material is plant-based.

The development of Löfbergs’s sustainability work in 2018/2019

Löfbergs adopted its first environmental policy back in 1992. Since then, the company has worked with concrete targets and measures in the sustainability field, in the producing countries as well as at home. The company is now presenting its sustainability report for the most recent financial year.

With more than 30 years in the industry, Tony Broman has visited most of the world's coffee growing countries. 25 years ago, he and Löfbergs imported the first container of organic coffee to Sweden.

25 years with organic coffee

On 7 March, 25 years has passed since the coffee group Löfbergs as the first larger coffee roaster in Sweden produced the first package of organic coffee. There was not much of a demand and few people were willing to pay extra for sustainably certified coffee, but the family-owned coffee roaster was still convinced that this was the future. Today, Löfbergs’s entire assortment is certified.
