Tea & Coffee 12/02 - Peeling Back The Layers of Global Sustainability (cont.) (#)
„Rick Peyser, SCAA Board member and Chair, SCAA Sustainable Committee, has been working with his company, Green Mountain Roasters on several relationship projects. Stewardship coffees, Coffee Kids (he is currently the president), and Oxfam to name a few, are commitments that express Green Mountain’s commitment to educating the industry and consumers while searching for sustainable solutions. Peyser concurred that everyone in the industry agrees that the current crisis demands a broad-based solution. “Fair Trade, by itself, isn’t enough; improving quality, by itself, isn’t enough; eliminating trade barriers, by itself, isn’t enough,” he said.“

„Thomas customer expressed to this reporter, "Anything to avoid the coffee line in the morning is worth it." According to Geof Smith, owner of St. Thomas Roasters, these cards have a dollar value of $35 but when you consider the amount of time customers will save by not having to wait in the coffee line each morning, the actual value in time saved will certainly exceed this out of pocket expense. Cardholders will be entitled to unlimited consumption of coffee restricted to one cup at a time during open hours from Monday through Saturday. Each card is valid for a period of 30 days from the purchase date and not transferrable.“

Tea & Coffee 04/04 - Green Mountain Coffee Roasters: Doing Well by Doing Good
„Following the 1999 launch of TransFair USA, Green Mountain committed in May 2000 to make at least 3% of its sales Fair Trade. It was a natural outgrowth of the company’s Stewardship Coffee program, which supported estates and cooperatives that treated workers extremely well, providing for education, health, and housing. It happened that the company’s three organic coffees from Peru, Sumatra, and Mexico were already certified as Fair Trade, so the company decided that henceforth all of its organic coffees would be double certified as Fair Trade and organic.“
