Responsible sourcing

Not only do we make great tasting coffee, we also source it responsibly and make sure that the farming communities that harvest our beans are served.

Rainforest Alliance

Coffee cherries

We recognize that to have a sustainable coffee business we need to invest in a sustainable coffee supply, ensuring that our coffee is grown in a way that protects the environment and enables the communities that grow our coffee to thrive.

The Rainforest Allianceis a non-profit organization that works to create a future in which people and nature thrive in harmony.

By working together with diverse stakeholders, including farmers, businesses, consumers and more, the Rainforest Alliance is building an alliance to improve livelihoods, protect biodiversity, amplify the voices of farmers and forest communities, and help them mitigate and adapt to climate change.

100% of our coffee and hot chocolate comes from Rainforest Alliance certified farms

Since we began our partnership with the Rainforest Alliance, we have been working together to address some of the most pressing issues facing the planet today by changing the way we produce, source and consume the world's natural resources.

Coffee farmers

Each Rainforest Alliance certified farm is required to adhere to strict guidelines for better farming methods and working conditions, as well as better care for nature.

This helps ensure that the coffee or cocoa we serve in all of our beverages has been produced responsibly and sustainably.

Thus, you can be sure that you are supporting the farmers and forest communities that care about our natural resources every time you choose to drink Costa Coffee, proudly sourced from Rainforest Alliance Certified ™ farms.
