Saving the planet one cup at a time…..
Café Bom Dia (click here) (Portuguese: "coffee good morning")
Café Bom Dia’s story began in 1895,
when the Marques De Paiva family planted its first coffee seeds in Brazil’s
lush tropical farmlands. The region’s legendary sun, mineral-rich soil and
tropical mountains proved to be the perfect setting for growing for quality,
low-acid coffees. Now a century later, Café Bom Dia is one of Brazil’s great
coffee companies and a supplier to the world.
As fourth generation farmers, the
family behind Café Bom Dia believes in protecting the earth and supporting
small-scale, independent farmers.
Café Bom Dia uses locally available
coffee tree and eucalyptus wood as renewable fuel for its roasting facility. As
a participant in the USDA Forest Stewardship Program, Café Bom Dia plants back
lumbered trees at the same rate to ensure reforestation.
Cafe Bom Dia's integrated tree to shelf
approach means coffee travels fewer miles before reaching the retailer and we
rely on recycled shipping pallets that may be reused at their global
destination. These steps and an aggressive effort to measure, reduce and offset
its CO2 emissions led to Café Bom Dia’s certification as the first
CarbonNeutral® coffee company in the world.
In addition to our USDA Organics,
Rainforest Alliance and Fair Trade Certified ™ products, we are proud of our
co
mpany-wide commitment to environmental and social movements.
