Beyers Koffie

We are beyond grateful to for everyone who has been part of our 2024 journey. Here’s to an exciting year ahead and continued growth together! Best wishes for the festive season and for 2025 from all of us at Beyers! ✨

Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a pervasive issue worldwide, and in coffee-growing regions – where #women carry out as much as 70% of physical labor on farms yet often face marginalization – the need for action to address the root causes of gender inequality and GBV is critical.     As part of UN's 16 Days of Activism against GBV (Nov 25 to Dec 10), we want to reinforce our commitment to promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment 💪 through our #CaringforPeople sustainability pillar and Sucafina #IMPACT Program. In 2023, we developed a comprehensive gender strategy focusing on: ♀ Gender mainstreaming: ensuring all our programs and projects are gender-inclusive and gender-responsive.  ♀ Gender transformation: addressing social norms and promoting positive attitudes towards gender equality.  ♀ Women’s economic empowerment: supporting women’s development to boost income and improve livelihoods. Get in touch to know more about how we’re advancing gender equality in our supply chains.

Intervenants inspirants et sujets captivants ont formé la combinaison parfaite pour notre séminaire commercial annuel de 2024 à Anvers ! Organisé dans le magnifique Yust Hotel, nos collègues des équipes Sales et Relationship Management ont, comme chaque année, eu l’occasion de faire le point sur l’année écoulée et de discuter des thèmes clés qui façonneront notre activité l’année prochaine. Les performances des derniers mois ont été partagées, soulignant que ces résultats sont le fruit de l’expertise et du travail acharné de tous nos collaborateurs. Une excellente occasion de capitaliser sur ces succès et de renforcer notre collaboration. Want naast strategische sessies en interne updates is er natuurlijk altijd ruimte voor inspirerende sprekers. Cory Bush, CEO van Beyers Koffie, gaf een boeiende getuigenis over zijn ervaring en samenwerking met factoring en de huidige, maar dynamische en volatiele koffiemarkt. Arne Maes zette ons aan het denken met zijn inzichten over zowel artificial intelligence als de economische vooruitzichten in België. AI is geen ver-van-ons-bed-show meer, maar een technologie die meer en meer aanwezig is in ons dagelijkse werk en leven. Zijn sessie gaf ons nieuwe perspectieven op het benutten hiervan, terwijl zijn economische analyse ons een duidelijk beeld gaf van de macro-economische trends en uitdagingen die ons te wachten staan. Een grote dank aan alle deelnemers, sprekers en het organisatieteam, inclusief onze collega Caroline Pauwels, die als vliegende reporter het evenement prachtig in beeld heeft gebracht. Met nieuwe inzichten en een duidelijke focus zetten we koers richting een succesvol 2025! #bnppff #wearefactor #seminar

We’re proud to announce that Sucafina has submitted a commitment letter to the Science Based Targets initiative, marking a significant milestone in our efforts to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across the Group. 🌱 🌍 Reducing emissions has long been a priority for us. It’s a key focus of our #ProtectingOurPlanet sustainability pillar and our IMPACT responsible sourcing program. 🙌 Signing the SBTi letter is an important step on this journey. As part of the process, we developed a Carbon Action Plan that outlines our total GHG inventory for 2023 and sets out the main climate-related risks and opportunities that we face. In the coming months, our next priorities are to set specific GHG targets and prepare a robust reporting framework. 👉 Reach out to your Key Account Manager or message us to find out how we can help you meet your targets. Stay tuned for updates as we move forward!

💦 Conserve #waterresources, 🏭 reduce #carbonemissions, 🌳 prevent #deforestation in our supply chains. These are the main goals of our third sustainability pillar: Protecting our Planet 🌍 Having boots on the ground in many origin countries means that our colleagues can work closely with local communities to identify and implement much needed projects. Check below 👇 some examples of how we're actively Protecting Our Planet all the way from Vietnam, to East Africa and Colombia or download our 2023 Sustainability Report for more details: https://lnkd.in/eGk9z-2K

Whether it's enhancing employees' wellbeing, respecting and promoting human rights or supporting our communities, we are proud of the many ways our colleagues at origin are implementing the second pillar of our Sustainability Strategy 👐 "Caring for People". In our 2023 Sustainability Report, we dive deep into three examples of how we've been actively caring for people in Rwanda and Brasil.

🙌 Big shout-out to our colleague, Filip Top! On September 25, at around 5:30 am, Filip reached the summit of Manaslu, in the Nepalese Himalayas, which stands at an incredible 8,163 meter. 🏔    This expedition wasn’t just about conquering one of the highest peaks in the world; it was a journey driven by purpose and determination. The climb was dedicated to supporting Shangrila Home, an Antwerp-based non-profit dedicated to providing a safe space and opportunities for over 100 children in Nepal. Through his efforts, Filip has truly embodied our purpose: creating opportunities to improve lives.    Congratulations, Filip, for reaching new heights and inspiring us all along the way! #beyerscoffee #beyerskoffie

Our 2030 Sustainability Strategy was developed by a cross-functional team that collected extensive feedback from key stakeholders to understand their perception of our environmental and social impacts and the critical issues faced by our industry.   The feedback was then distilled into three key action pillars: ‘Investing in Farmers’, ‘Caring for People’, and ‘Protecting Our Planet’. 👨🌾 #InvestingInFarmers is the first pillar you'll find while reading Beyers' 2023 Sustainability Report, alongside some practical examples of how we've been working towards implementing it in Rwanda, Tanzania and Papua New Guinea.   Read more about these three projects below or follow the link to download the full report: https://lnkd.in/eGk9z-2K #beyerskoffie #beyers #sustainablecoffee #sustainabilityreport
