Colombia  

Founded more than 35 years ago, Carcafe contributes to the development of a sustainable coffee industry that improves the quality of life for producers, clients, and consumers around the world, with a portfolio of products and services that satisfy the needs of each of our stakeholders.

From the early days of the movement for sustainable coffee, Carcafe has built certified supply chains in different regions of the country and has run several sustainability projects on behalf of clients. We consider the economic, social, and environmental aspects of sustainability as fundamental factors for coffee communities. Our efforts are aligned with the requirements of many of the principal certification schemes such as 4C, Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade, and Organic, as well as verification systems associated with roasters, such as C.A.F.E. Practices, Nespresso AAA, and Raiz, among others.

Our team works constantly to support producers and generate positive impacts which enable coffee communities to achieve a better standard of living.
