Sustainability

At Viva Coffee Ltd., we are dedicated to delivering sustainably and ethically sourced green beans to our customers, while also safeguarding the farms and ensuring the sustainable profitability of our valued farm partners who cultivate the coffee.

The two key pillars of our sustainability agenda are:

Ethically Sourcing

We proudly source our coffee exclusively from farms that share our dedication to sustainability and social responsibility, ensuring that the coffee we source contributes to a more environmentally responsible and socially conscious coffee industry.

We work closely with our farm partners to ensure fair wages for farm workers, safe working conditions, and sustainable farming practices. By nurturing these partnerships, we not only support local communities but also help preserve the precious and rich biodiversity of the Brazilian coffee regions.

Reducing our Carbon Footprint

By shipping coffee directly from Brazil, we eliminate the need for multiple transportation legs and the associated emissions. Our direct sourcing and local storage model significantly reduce the intermediaries involved, we minimise transportation distances and the energy required for coffee to reach its final destination.

Our responsible sourcing goes beyond the green beans we source and extends to the sourcing of other materials where we strive to minimise the impact on the environment in our areas such as our packaging and operations.

I have been working with Lucas for a few years now and I am really delighted with his service . The fact that he is from the region in Brazil that he buys his green coffee from gives real substance to his business . Lucas is a wonderful person to deal with , very professional and always tries to get the best pricing for his clients. We have been in the coffee business for 20 years so we feel we know what we are talking about when it comes to choosing the right suppliers for our business and Viva is absolutely the right fit for us.
