Lobodis
Lobodis is committed to promoting a sustainable coffee industry through its "Zero Deforestation" pledge. The company employs agroforestry practices, growing coffee plants alongside shade trees to improve soil fertility and biodiversity. This method addresses the historical link between coffee farming and deforestation, which has had negative effects on ecosystems and climate.
To combat these challenges, Lobodis monitors deforestation risks and advocates for sustainable farming techniques. The company utilizes tools such as Global Forest Watch and QGIS to evaluate environmental impacts and works with partners like Envol Vert to align with new European regulations on deforestation.
Lobodis provides access to a geolocated tracking tool and offers a detailed report on biodiversity and deforestation within the coffee industry. The company ensures that its products comply with forthcoming European standards for deforestation-free imports, effective January 2025. Furthermore, Lobodis supports agroforestry to mitigate environmental impacts, enhance coffee quality, and benefit local communities.
Through these initiatives, Lobodis demonstrates its dedication to fostering a sustainable coffee sector.
