COFFEESISTERS / MISSION
The CS label and SROI
Coffeesisters is about Lucy and Mercy, but stands for the thousands of women in Africa who do the hard work on the plantations every day.
Ad and Robert bring the story of these women’s hard lives to offices, hospitality and to you, in the Netherlands and Europe.
Robert:
“We cannot and will not accept that so little is earned here from a product that is so loved in the Netherlands and Europe. That is why I am here for the coming years, to change this together with Ad, Lucy and her family. And for that, we need you.
What I discovered on the plantations in Kenya is that, despite the hard life, there is so much joy and togetherness. I enjoy that enormously. We would love to share that cheerfulness and connection with you. Colours, fashion, food, dance and music are part of Coffeesisters, and we are happy to pass them on to you.
I also call on all women in the Netherlands to connect with these Coffeesisters across Africa. Stop accepting that the women and children who take care of our coffee every day are exploited by a rotten system. Be a Coffeesister by buying the coffee and standing behind these women and our fully transparent and clear SROI system.”
Coffeesisters is a label for coffee from Kenya. It guarantees excellent coffee and a fixed contribution to the Coffeesisters Foundation, which will work towards better conditions on the coffee plantations.
Any coffee company can take part by buying this coffee, roasted or unroasted. Coffee companies can become partners and join the Coffeesisters label. Our coffee meets the EUDR requirements and comes from a transparent, traceable chain. Read more about EUDR and traceability. Other businesses and hospitality venues can also become Coffeesisters partners.
Housing, transport, healthcare, food and education: that is where your contribution goes in full. We make it completely clear and transparent what your contribution is and what is done with it.
We are open to strong, long-term partnerships. We exclude no one and are happy to talk with any company.
A concept that reaches further
Naast de koffie en het label ontwikkelen we een horecaconcept met donkere koffieverpakkingen en een herkenbare uitstraling voor op de zaak. Met Coffeesisters Moments verkennen we daarnaast koffie als cadeau en voor bijzondere momenten, ook voor winkels en speciaalzaken.
