SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA – San Francisco Bay Coffee, a leading purveyor of quality coffee, is proud to announce that it has been officially verified as Responsibly Sourced by the nonprofit organization Enveritas, according to a recent assessment covering 100% of its coffee purchases in 2023.
This recognition highlights the company’s ongoing commitment to investing in sustainable labor and environmentally friendly practices, specifically focusing on supporting small farmers who often lack the resources to verify their adherence to these crucial practices.
By partnering with Enveritas, the company has strengthened its dedication to supporting responsible coffee farming. Enveritas uses advanced methods such as satellite imaging and on-site visits to evaluate coffee farms against stringent criteria. The criteria encompasses a variety of crucial factors, including labor conditions, environmental impact, and the overall welfare of coffee-growing communities.
The verification by Enveritas measures the social, environmental, and economic conditions on coffee farms in their sourcing areas, including issues such as child labor, forced labor, human trafficking, the protection of biodiversity, conserving soil and water, and managing chemical usage responsibly.
It then ensures that San Francisco Bay Coffee is making meaningful investments to address those risks, including through on-the-ground farmer support programs that deliver training and resources to smallholder producers.
The company, alongside other roasters, funds Enveritas’ work, supporting its goal of eradicating global poverty within the coffee farming industry by 2030.
This verification serves not only as a testament to San Francisco Bay Coffee’s ethical practices but also reinforces the company’s role in promoting a transparent, equitable, and sustainable coffee industry.
