„Most sustainable coffee is grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides, making it organically sound as well. Care is also given to maintaining the integrity of the ground cover on the coffee plantations as well as protecting any nearby rivers which might interact with the liquid by-products of coffee processing. Sustainable coffee growers are also keenly concerned with the issue of deforestation, as many of these growers are in Latin America and in close proximity to rainforests which are clearly at risk.“

International Coffee Organization
„17. One of the key objectives of the International Coffee Agreement, that of encouraging Members to develop a sustainable coffee economy, very much tallies with the goals of the World Summit on Sustainable Development of poverty eradication within a framework of sustainable development. In fact the objectives of the new 2001 Agreement are very much development-oriented and fuller recognition of this by other multilateral organizations would be very helpful. The special importance of the coffee sector to the economic development of producing countries should be more widely understood, with the corollary that the ICO should be regularly consulted with respect to projects and programmes addressing or affecting the coffee sector in such countries or globally. In coffee, which remains of key importance to a substantial number of developing countries including LDCs, the ICO should be recognized as constituting a fundamental instrument for cooperation and coordination in working towards sustainable development.“
