What is XLIII Coffee doing to maintain transparency?

XLIII Coffee is always thinking and constantly discussing how we can contribute and maintain transparency positively and constructively for the industry’s overall development. From there, we can protect the legitimate interests of production partners and all customers of XLIII Coffee, limiting asymmetric information that affects the supply chain.

We’re always working to find and apply best practices, but there are more. The journey to maintain and spread transparency takes more than the efforts of all parties. XLIII Coffee will remain steadfast and consistent in its operations, dedicated to building a more sustainable future for the coffee industry.

We contribute to and maintain transparency through the following specific activities:

XLIII Coffee purchases and distributes coffee transparently

XLIII Coffee accurately and publicly describes how we negotiate, price, and purchase coffee here.

XLIII COFFEE IS COMMITTED TO PAYING THE RIGHT PRICE

We are committed to producing the right price for coffee producers, ensuring our supply chain is economically and socially sustainable. The seemingly simple cup of coffee has come a long way, with much work and risk involved. XLIII Coffee thinks that it should be recognized relatively and openly.

Detailed information on production batches, farming methods, harvesting, and preliminary processing, as well as sustainable farming efforts of partners, are continuously updated, recorded, and used by XLIII Coffee for the selection process, filtering, purchasing, and promoting products.

XLIII COFFE WORKS WITH COLLEAGUES ON TRANSPARENT BASIS

XLIII Coffee works directly with coffee producers or with trusted local partners. Coffee quality scores are assessed according to SCA standards, and both parties agree on prices at each harvest. All relationships are built on openness, transparency, and mutual respect. Each year, we commit to increasing our purchases, fully understanding that factors like climate can affect flavor and more.

Where a direct relationship with the producer is not possible, XLIII Coffee works with some trusted exporters who help us source coffee from local producers. These exporters provide quality control, transportation, and customs clearance services. Each journey step incurs additional costs accurately reflected in the product cost.

XLIII COFFEE CONTINUOSLY PDATEES AND MAINTAINS TRANSPARENT INFORMATION

XLIII Coffee understands that upstream data from the producer is fundamental in any supply chain and dramatically impacts transparency and consumer behavior.

XLIII Coffee provides complete information and transparency to the maximum extent, with the desire to build and shape a better future for coffee producers.

We sometimes update details of costs and product prices, such as Paid for Farmer/Producer, FOB price, DDP price, price per box of finished product, and cup of coffee served in the store. With this small action, we can help consumers better understand how it works and the absolute value farmers get from the coffee they use.

As a supplier of quality Specialty coffee products, XLIII Coffee strives to increase the collection of information at the early stages of the supply chain to share with customers while providing regular feedback and keeping in touch. Communicate with production partners to continuously update changes and synchronize information.

Transparency requires public accountability from all stages and grants legitimate rights and interests to all these elements.

XLIII Coffee is still working to expand and improve transparency in its original journey.

XLIII Coffee is always ready to receive feedback and positive changes

Our efforts to maintain transparency continue with the activities and information we have. XLIII Coffee is open-minded and constantly looking for ways to improve every day.

When it comes to finding transparency in the coffee sector, especially specialty coffee, it can be confusing and challenging to do. The definition of transparency or how to create and maintain it remains the same with each stage of the production process. Still, this term often has different meanings for each audience, such as farmers, producers, collectors, and product consumers. For XLII Coffee, the desire to create and maintain transparency is continuously adjusted and updated to ensure maximum benefits for stakeholders, especially our customers.

Every market is flawed, and finding a level playing field for everyone can be difficult.
