When we talk about a sustainable future, it’s worth noting that our company can trace its roots back to a small, family grocery store in the Netherlands in 1753. The fact that we have not only survived, but expanded our business internationally to become one of the world’s leading pure-play coffee and tea companies says a lot for our own sustainability.
Throughout our history, we have been driven by passion for the products, care for people – including our employees, our suppliers and our business partners – and a respect for the environment. These values have served us well over the centuries and they are even more relevant today, when environmental concerns are big challenges for governments and business leaders.
