JDE Peet's



64





JDE Peet’s deserves acknowledgement for its enhanced sustainability strategy, with transparent goal setting, engagement at origin and reporting. The company’s coffee supply chain objectives, goals and activities are addressed in its Common Grounds framework, which encompasses commitments to responsible sourcing, minimizing environmental impact, and connecting people across its coffee and tea supply chains. While JDE Peet’s presents a cohesive and clear coffee sustainability strategy, its activities and involvements across various sustainability domains exhibit varying levels of maturity. For instance, its efforts in promoting social inclusion within the supply chain are less well-defined compared to its environmental initiatives. Similarly, while there are actions related to farmer economic viability, the overarching strategy in this regard lacks cohesion. In recent years, JDE Peet’s has scaled back its third-party certification commitments in favor of verified sourcing through Enveritas. Although JDE Peet’s has reported an increased percentage of “responsibly sourced” coffee, the actual impact of this verification standard lacks clarity and transparency.
