The coffee roaster Löfbergs received the award Excellent Sustainable Supplier today. The Swedish Environmental Management Council (SEMCo) rewards a company that is successfully working with the supply of green products and services.
Löfbergs secures its leading position in the Swedish Out of Home market. In a joint procurement, Nordic Choice and Compass Group chooses to prolong their agreement with the family-owned coffee roaster. Except for a lot of good coffee, the agreement involves a unique investment in sustainability.
The Karlstad sun will now have to prove worthy of its reputation as Löfbergs and ClimateWell is building the world's first large-scale testing facility of solar panels for heating as well as cooling. The new technology reduces energy use and CO2 emissions, and the project is being followed with very great interest by the European Commission among others.
In 2014, the Swedish consumer magazine Råd & Rön will carry out an international review of the sustainability work of coffee suppliers, something that the coffee roaster Löfbergs welcomes.
Löfbergs received the Environment Award of the Year at the Swedish Dagligvarugalan. The family-owned coffee roaster was awarded for its genuine and transparent sustainability work.
Many great contributions in the retail trade are rewarded at Dagligvarugalan in Sweden. Today, this year's finalists were presented. Löfbergs is nominated for no less than three awards, including the Environment Award of the Year.
Löfbergs is one of Sweden's 10 best role models in the sustainability field - this according to a survey that was presented during the Almedalen Week in Sweden. 200 sustainability experts were given the opportunity to give their opinion on companies that are in the forefront, and Löfbergs is one of them.
No, there will not be a big fight between Löfbergs and the Swedish government; this is all about the award Sustainable leadership 2012. This year’s finalists have been presented, and Lars Appelqvist, CEO at Löfbergs, is one of them. Peter Norman, Minister of Financial Markets, is another one.
Many coffee farmers around the world are adversely affected by the climate changes - with poorer living conditions as a cause. Now, Sida is taking joint action together with Löfbergs and nine other coffee companies. In a common development project, they want to improve the possibilities for small-scale coffee farmers to meet the climate changes and increase their income.
Increased production, higher quality and better standard of living. That is the result of a three-year development project in Brazil, which Löfbergs has undertaken. The project involved 500 coffee farmers and their families.
The interest in Löfbergs Lila's sustainability work is increasing. Recently, Lars Appelqvist, CEO at Löfbergs Lila, participated in a breakfast seminar about climate policy in the Riksdag. On Monday, Kathrine Löfberg is going to Stockholm to discuss sustainable consumption with Åsa Romson, spokesperson for the Swedish Green Party.
Löfbergs Lila is a new member of the company network Haga Initiative. The Haga Initiative consists of ten well-known companies and wants to reduce the carbon emissions of the business sector, highlight the climate issue as one of the most important future issues, and act as a role model for companies that take active responsibility for the climate.
