SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Contribution of Fair Trade to community development.
Fair trade helps small coffee producers improve their income and living conditions. Thanks to fair trade, producers can participate in responsible and ethical supply chains. In addition, fair trade generates decent employment at the local level. reducing migration and family disintegration.
In addition to the direct benefits to producer families, fair trade shares its benefits with the community, through projects financed with the fair trade premium or with projects financed by importers or roasters for the benefit of the community and its producers.
These are some of our social projects financed with fair trade premium funds or in collaboration with our clients.

Fund for the development of women
The empowerment of women is key to guaranteeing their transformational participation in society, focused on their economic development, the prevention of violence and promoting their participation in decision-making at the family, community and company levels.
The role of women is key to equitable development in communities, for this reason continuous training in different areas is necessary, in such a way that allows them to play their transformative role in society more competitively and avoid their marginalization.
