Sustainability
The Sustainability Manifesto and
the Sustainable Development Goals
In the Sustainability Manifesto, we set out the Group’s commitment to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN 2030 Agenda.
The Manifesto describes the strategy we began to define back in 2015, with the publication of our first sustainability report and a programme to gradually integrate sustainability criteria in all our business activities, leading to the identification of the four priority Goals underpinning the Manifesto.
The document reflects the deep sense of responsibility we have always shown towards the communities in which we operate, including coffee producers, our People and consumers.
A shared path
Since we signed up for the UN 2030 Agenda in 2015, our aim has been to use the 17 SDGs as mandatory prerequisites in the development of strategies based on an ambitious project called ‘A Goal in Every Cup’, which is also the title of the Group’s Sustainability Report. This strategic sustainability plan is based on:
- an analysis of the impact of our processes and products and reporting based on the most advanced international standards
- a commitment to spread awareness about the SDGs among all the Company’s stakeholders, through what we call ‘Goal Zero – Spread the Message’
- the implementation of a platform setting out the main SDGs with direct connections to the company’s mission, which provide guidance in the development of all business activities and sustainability programmes.
