In November, Neumann Kaffee Gruppe released its first public corporate responsibility report, providing insights into NKG’s global sustainability strategy and farm-level initiatives in producing countries, showing the creative and substantial efforts made by the largest green coffee services group in the world.
“At NKG, we are unconditionally committed to the coffee producing countries and the coffee producer. Without these millions of coffee farming families, the enduring success of coffee as a modern and highly desirable everyday luxury would be unthinkable. We see our strong presence at the coffee origins and our worldwide network as key assets for promoting responsible sourcing within our industry,” writes David M. Neumann, NKG’s Group c.e.o. Planning for the future of coffee, NKG drives sustainability initiatives in 14 countries across Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. Over time, NKG’s sustainability approach has grown from decentralized project work to professional corporate responsibility management at the group level.
“Sustainability is a core business competence of NKG. With this interactive report, we invite you to join us on a journey to the origin countries of coffee and to learn more about our business approach to sustainability. Meet the producers behind our initiatives and hear for yourself what coffee really means to them,” says Sonja König, who heads NKG’s Corporate Responsibility department in Hamburg.
