Hennessy Coffee and the Rainforest Alliance |
|
At
Hennessy Coffee we understand that not only must our coffee be of outstanding
quality, it must also be produced in a sustainable fashion. So, at Hennessy
Coffee, we work with the Rainforest Alliance organisation to ensure that our
coffee is produced in an environmentally-sustainable way, and the farmers who
produce the excellent coffee beans we use are also adequately remunerated for
their endeavours.
For
coffee farmers to gain the Rainforest Alliance Certification they must
demonstrate having achieved the following benchmarks: reducing the
environmental impact of coffee production by using less water; reducing water
pollution and soil erosion; reducing, re-using & recycling of waste; as well
as protecting the wildlife habitats of the animals native to the farming area.
At
Hennessy Coffee we realise that a good cup of coffee should not cost the earth.
Nor should having a social conscience. That's way our Rainforest Alliance
Coffee Blends are competitively priced.
