Slow
Did you know that you can create a positive social and environmental impact in the world by changing to the right coffee supplier? Slow helps larger companies take tangible action on their sustainability strategies by offering a cutting-edge regenerative coffee solution. No greenwashing here; we simply mean business. With total transparency and no carbon offsetting programs, we are working directly on the ground with local farmers to produce good-tasting and forest-grown coffee where CO2 is sequestered in the trees growing in between the coffee plants, and biodiversity is strengthened in the coffee forests. We even offer regenerative and nature-positive coffee solutions for our larger clients! Slow has removed up to 15 intermediaries in the coffee value chain to have full ownership. The released value is then reinvested in nature and communities to grow coffee in forests and preserve and regenerate more forests. Our team in Laos works directly with our community of micro farmers to preserve forests and grow great coffee. Additionally, we are converting many hectares of monoculture coffee plantations into diverse coffee agroforestry, giving life back to nature. We have taken “fair trading” to the next level by offering farmers a 40% pre-payment to balance their cash flow. We have established an emergency health foundation for the farmers. We educate them in sustainable agriculture practices, helped them get bank accounts and even make individual livelihood improvement programs. All this and much more we do because we want to be the best coffee company in the World - for the World.
