Volcafe

This month, we celebrated #Movember with incredible participation across Volcafe, from creative moustaches to active involvement in our events. Our teams united to raise awareness for vital causes like prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and mental health. 👏 A huge thank you to everyone who took part, your enthusiasm and commitment have made a real difference. Together, we’ve shown the power of teamwork in supporting men’s health, and we’re excited to continue building on this success! #Movember #MensHealth #MakingADifference

Our colleagues in #Spain recently welcomed Tim Scharrer – Volcafe’s COO to the Madrid office. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet new #team members in person, engage in productive team meetings, and kick off the week with a small celebration.

Last week, the Volcafe team participated in the annual @SintercafeCR event at Los Sueños, Costa Rica. It was a fantastic opportunity to exchange insights, share experiences, and foster connections within the coffee community. From engaging workshops to meaningful interactions, the event provided numerous opportunities for collaboration and learning. Volcafe also participated as part of Next Gen Sintercafe, an initiative supported by Sintercafé that aims to bring together the new generations of the coffee industry in coffee-producing countries across the Central American region. We’re grateful to have been part of such an inspiring event that continues to shape the future of coffee. #sintercafe2024

Carcafe / Volcafe Group , Volcafe’s company in #Colombia, was honoured to join the Lavazza Foundation's 20th anniversary event, The Coffeeprint of Tomorrow, with Vivian Vasquez, selected as one of the 20 coffee change makers by the Fondazione Lavazza . She highlighted Coffee as a Megaphone for Peace, a project empowering women and promoting #sustainable coffee practices across 12,000 hectares. Through agroforestry, Volcafe is creating a biological corridor connecting farms to nearby parks, reducing deforestation, enhancing #biodiversity, and generating income for farmers. Women, once in the background, are now leading their farms and communities, embodying coffee’s power to drive sustainable change. #SustainableCoffee #WomenInCoffee

The Global Sustainability team (including the Global Marketing and Communications team) met at our Winterthur, Switzerland office last week. With members spread across six countries, this two-day meeting was an opportunity for them to gather as a team for the first time (in person!) and brainstorm on the #sustainability strategy, upcoming regulations, and important topics like #carbon and #humanrights.

On Wednesday, Tim Scharrer – Volcafe’s COO and Regional Director Europe and North America – spoke on a panel at World Coffee Alliance's World Coffee Innovation Summit in #London. The discussion focused on ways to build trust in #coffee value chains from crop to cup.

Molinos de Honduras, Volcafe’s entity in the country, recently welcomed a delegation from Enveritas to its Experimental Center, Finca Las Moras. The 234-hectare property, with 10 hectares dedicated to #coffee production, serves as a testing ground for new inputs before they are recommended to coffee farmers. Additionally, Finca Las Moras is a key training site where technicians provide Volcafe Way training to #coffeefarmers. The visit was particularly meaningful as Molinos de Honduras and Enveritas have collaborated for several years, verifying coffee farms for roaster clients. For the Enveritas team, this visit offered an invaluable opportunity to observe the impact of Molinos de Honduras' work firsthand and deepen their understanding of #sustainable coffee production methods in #honduras.

At Volcafe, we understand the importance of preserving and fostering #biodiversity and the positive impact this can have on #coffeefarmers. That's why we're celebrating #InternationalCoffeeDay this year by reflecting on some of the ways we can promote nature and biodiversity while securing a future for coffee-farming communities. Together, let’s keep building a thriving, #sustainable coffee business for all. Happy International Coffee Day! #impactcoffee #icd2024
