Carbon

In the coffee chain, “carbon” usually refers to the greenhouse gases (expressed as CO₂ equivalent) emitted or absorbed during farming, processing and transport. Measuring and reducing emissions is part of sustainable development and matters more and more to buyers.

Certification

Confirmation by an independent organisation that a farm, processing facility or business meets a given set of standards, for example on sustainable farming or traceability. Certificates are issued by competent certification bodies.

Demo farm

A farm that applies recommended farming practices so that farmers and businesses can visit, learn and compare results before adopting them more widely.

Due diligence

The process of gathering information, assessing risks and taking measures to reduce them, to make sure a product meets legal requirements and standards, for example when preparing documentation under the EUDR.

EUDR
