The history of coffee beans in Honduras

Economic responsibility-transparency is very important. Our suppliers are required to submit payment vouchers for raw (unroasted) coffee beans throughout the coffee supply chain, including receipts indicating the amount of coffee paid directly to the grower.

Social responsibility (assessed by third parties)-growers and farmers must have measures that can improve safe, fair and humane working conditions for reference. These include the protection of workers' rights and the provision of appropriate

Living conditions. Minimum wage requirements must be met and child labour / forced labour and discrimination must be addressed.
