Program for the sustainability of coffee companies
This project is part of Grupo Nutresa’s initiatives to promote responsible sourcing, thus impacting not only the producers and their families, but also all the links in the coffee chain, improving the quality of life of coffee growers, contributing to sustainability and the construction of a better world where development is for all.
For three years we have been accompanying, through our allies in the field Ecom, Carcafé and Sucafina, producers in Huila, Santander and Antioquia so that they can transform their farms into sustainable businesses and this will allow us to strengthen the coffee production system.
With these three programs we are making progress in closing the gaps in the dimensions of sustainability:
Prosperity
Pest and disease management.
Purchase plan for dry parchment coffee in Huila.
Training and implementation of the registration and cost control model.
Construction of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) guidelines.

Coffee can be produced with good agricultural and environmental practices,
Our brand Matiz is a coffee that works with projects associated with our family coffee enterprise programs in Santander, Huila and Antioquia. We promote the care of agroforestry systems, the maintenance of water sources and the establishment of beehives for bees. In addition, its social responsibility is focused on strengthening the capacities of the coffee growing communities where Matiz, together with its programs, works to promote generational splicing and the prevention of child labor in the field.
En Colcafé entendemos el impacto que tienen nuestras acciones, por eso creamos Kunawa: nuestro compromiso de café sostenible.
Kunawa fue el proyecto antecesor a nuestro Programa de Empresas Cafeteras familiares, que nos permitió ver el café como un círculo de desarrollo y progreso, un círculo que conecta la labor del caficultor con la de las cooperativas, los productores, nuestros clientes, y todas las personas que como tú, disfrutan del aroma, la fuerza y la energía que trae el café a sus vidas.
Estos son los programas que conformaron nuestro sello de café sostenible durante este proyecto:
El aumento de la productividad de fincas cafeteras a través de la educación, la tecnología y la innovación.
Una Central de Beneficio comunitaria que reduce el consumo de agua e incrementa la eficiencia, devolviéndole tiempo al caficultor para tener un mejor balance de vida.
Compartir nuevas plantas de café para que los futuros cultivos tengan una mejor calidad y abundantes cosechas.
Café sostenible y trazable incluyendo certificaciones Fairtrade, Rainforest y Orgánico.
Eficiencia y reducción del impacto ambiental en nuestras operaciones de procesamiento, empaque y distribución de café.
