It's not only a commitment to the environment, at Racafé we propose, learn, innovate, and dream about sustainable development. From now on, we visualize a fair and equitable future for upcoming generations that will harvest from what we are sowing today.
At Racafé we implemented an INTERNAL SUSTAINABILITY STANDARD to support communities and encourage sustainable forms of continuous participation throughout the coffee production chain.
It aims to improve the quality of life for coffee-growing families and their relationship with the environment through three approaches: environmental, social and economic.
The CRECER standard covers different aspects of environmental, social and economic interest to coffee growers.
It covers the aspects of: Biodiversity; Weed management; Organic and inorganic waste; Pesticide management; Efficient water use and Ecosystem services.
It includes: Socialization of public policy; Association activity; Training; Research; Intergenerational work and Food security.
It analyzes the: Use of by-products; Diversification with animals; Crop and Business Plan; Bonus; Fertilization Efficiency; Control of benefit and Drying Control.
We seek to promote efficiency in the use of natural resources from the cultivation to the drying process.
We seek to improve the quality of life for Colombian coffee-growing families through local projects and initiatives.
Through quality improvements, we seek to create plans and strategies focused on maximizing efficiency and having better control over the different processes of the crop.
Over the years, we have been committed to reducing the environmental impact of our operations and providing Colombian coffee growers and coffee associations with better conditions.
