Committed to working hand in hand
Since 2003, our desire to create shared value for all stakeholders in our value chain has been channeled through the AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program . Our aim is to foster conditions to improve the yield and quality of harvests, while creating sustainable livelihoods and help protecting the environment.

CROP INSURANCE
Climate shocks can have devastating impacts on coffee farmers, which are rarely fully covered by insurers. With Blue Marble Microinsurance and Fairtrade, we cross-reference real-time and historic weather data to calculate which farms are affected and provide automated payouts. In Aguadas and Norte Caldas, Colombia, 4,700+ farmers and 15,000 hectares are already protected.
FARMERS PENSIONS
Coffee farmers often have little financial security. By working with the Colombian government, Fairtrade, and the Aguadas Coffee Growers’ Cooperative, we offer 2,000+ local farmers access to a retirement saving plan. 170 are already receiving a pension. A similar initiative has now also been implemented in Indonesia.
MASTER ORIGINS
To promote craftmanship and create unique taste, our Master Origins range applies sustainable local processes to rare, high-quality coffee cherries from selected origins. Our Master Origin Nicaragua daringly opts for “Black Honey” processing for a smooth texture and sweet cereal notes. While Master Origin India uses the monsoonal winds to swell and dry the beans for woody, spicy notes.
REVIVING ORIGINS
In some regions, coffee production has almost been lost because of conflicts, economic and environmental disasters. Through partnerships with farmers, NGOs and governments, we’re bringing back coffee growing to support local economies and preserve exquisite varieties.

MANY STORIES, ONE COMMITMENT
Each farmer and agronomist has a story to tell. Each is different, yet united by a shared commitment to quality and sustainability. Through access to training, we strive to provide tools tailored to the reality of the local land and community.

Like over 1,800 farmers, Iswandi enjoys improved socioeconomic conditions, productivity, and coffee quality as a member of the coffee cooperative in Aceh, Indonesia – set up with Nespresso, Fairtrade and coffee trader Olam.
ALBA MARIA
Alba was ready to give up her 7,200 coffee trees in Colombia’s Caldas province due to unpredictable weather patterns resulting from climate change. Joining Nespresso and Blue Marble’s crop insurance plan gives her peace of mind.
