SUSTAINABILITY
At UCC Spain & Portugal, sustainability is not an option, it’s an integral part of how we do business. As part of a global coffee group, we are committed to building a fairer, greener, and more responsible coffee value chain, from farm to cup.
Our approach is holistic: we work to improve environmental impact, promote ethical sourcing, support local communities, and help our partners and clients achieve their own sustainability goals. Because we believe that true sustainability requires shared action.
Sustainable Sourcing
We source coffee responsibly, working directly with producers and cooperatives to ensure traceability, fair labour conditions, and environmental protection at origin. Many of our products are certified by globally recognised sustainability programmes.
Environmental Responsibility
We are constantly working to reduce our environmental footprint throughout our supply chain. This includes investing in energy-efficient systems at our roastery, minimising packaging waste, optimising logistics, and transitioning to more sustainable materials.
Our facilities operate under strict environmental standards and are subject to regular audits and controls to ensure continuous improvement.
Partnership with Forever Green
We are proud partners of Forever Green, the sustainability platform of renowned Spanish football club Real Betis. Through this collaboration, we engage in impactful environmental initiatives such as:
- Reforestation days
- Campaigns to raise awareness about ecological products
- Programmes to protect marine life and promote biodiversity
This partnership allows us to extend our environmental responsibility beyond the coffee sector, connecting with local communities and promoting sustainable habits across broader society.
