We seek to be a responsible and sustainable brand through our supply chain by implementing various programs and actions that contribute to these objectives.

Between 2020 and 2021, we built and applied the social and environmental performance evaluation tool to 77 suppliers, corresponding to 29% of the company’s centralized supplier database. After having this diagnosis of good practices in the supply chain, in 2023 we expect to build sustainable procurement guidelines for suppliers.

These will shape the chain’s commercial relationships, taking into account minimum environmental, social and governance aspects. This will have an impact on the improvement of the organizational processes of Procafecol S.A. and the organizations that act as suppliers.

The internationalization component groups together the actions developed in other dimensions, such as the shared value platform, Race to Zero commitments and circular economy initiatives. In fact, in Spain, activities were initiated within the framework of the Reusamos todo lo que sea posible program, with the reuse of materials for the manufacture of store furniture. Similarly, in Chile and Ecuador, the Vaso Reúso program is being promoted to reduce the waste generated in store operations. In addition to these activities, Procafecol S.A. participated in the Expo-Dubai event in the United Arab Emirates with a stand for approximately 8 months using construction finishes certified by the company ACEMAR, which guarantees that the wood used is Cradle to Cradle®. Lamps made by Colombian artisans were also taken to Dubai.
