What does sustainability mean at Dallmayr?

The quality in the cup

The benefit of organic agriculture is the conservation of natural resources.

The soil does not become as depleted, the habitats of animal species are protected, and the farmers do not have to buy either fertilisers or pesticides.

Our bio coffee & tea products are certified by DE-ÖKO-001.

Fairly traded

Under the Fairtrade seal, the non-profit organisation Transfair supports disadvantaged farming families in Africa, Asia and Latin America and improves their living and working conditions through fair trade.

This includes, for example, a secure income for the coffee farmers as a result of fair trading structures and minimum wages for small farmers.

“The coffee from the region where Jane
Goodall carries out her projects is “good for all”: the nature, the chimpanzees,
the coffee farmers and the consumers.”
— Simone Werle
Head of Public Relations, Alois Dallmayr Kaffee oHG

From Tanzania, we source green coffee which is certified with the Jane Goodall seal GOOD FOR ALL, and thus support the sustainable mindset of the British animal welfarist and environmentalist.

With an area of 52 square kilometres, Gombe is the smallest national park in Tanzania. The green oasis in the centre of a barren landscape provides a natural habitat for a number of plants and animals. In 1960, Jane Goodall began to observe chimpanzees there. Her research has revolutionised our understanding of the relationship between humans and primates to this day.

Under the slogan GOOD FOR ALL, Jane Goodall developed a certification system for coffee, in which the key criteria are fair trade, sustainable agriculture and animal welfare. For example, the farmers undertake to surrender up to 20 % of their fields for the expansion of the rainforest.

“You can change something,
any day and at any time.”
— Dr. Jane Goodall
Primate researcher and conservationist

In return, Jane Goodall stands up for the rights of the coffee farmers and fair trade. She acts as a mediator between them and the roasting companies and, with her seal, guarantees compliance with the ethical standards which her name represents.

Millions of saplings
for Ethiopia

When we sell single-origin Ethiopian coffee, we are supporting the foundation “Menschen für Menschen” and donating five saplings for every 500 g of coffee. This gets to the root of one of Ethiopia’s main problems: the threat of desertification.

“Our cooperation with Almaz and
Karlheinz Böhm allows us to provide support in the very
country which has been with us from the
start of our coffee roasting business.”
— Wolfgang Wille
Managing Partner, Alois Dallmayr Kaffee oHG

People clear forests out of necessity – with severe consequences. If the trees are not there, valuable soil is washed away. On the bare slopes, the rainwater rushes into the valley, instead of penetrating the ground and adding to the groundwater. Springs run dry. Fertile land falls barren and becomes a desert.

The trees which grow from the planted saplings improve the quality of the soil and prevent its erosion. The soil is becoming fertile again, and thus secures the basis of existence for the local people for the long term.

“With every tree,
hope grows in Ethiopia.”

In the Mayan language, Utz means “good”. UTZ’s vision is to create a world in which sustainable farming is the norm.

The programme helps farmers to farm their plantations profitably – but with respect for the people and natural resources. The coffee farmers learn efficient methods of cultivation, in order to increase their harvests. This also enables them to improve their prospects for the future.

UTZ-certified coffee is not necessarily grown organically. However, the methods of conventional agriculture are only used with very strict controls. The farmers receive relevant training and have to keep records of the use of pesticides and fertilisers.

Trace the coffee back to the plantation

Where does the coffee come from and under what conditions is it farmed? UTZ Certified gives transparent answers to these questions. Follow us to the plantation where the coffee grows. Simply select the EAN code and the batch number printed on the packaging from the set list – and the journey begins:

Dallmayr Via Verde is our seal for a sustainable “green path

Sustainably good
