EUDR:
Our Approach

Consistency is the foundation of sustainability. To translate the dedication of our partners and safely deliver exceptional coffee, established quality and logistics protocols are key. Trabocca meticulously monitors quality specifications and regulatory changes to maintain a resilient supply chain. Upholding these standards, we can assure unique flavors without compromising on quality standards to deliver great coffee.

Sourcing Policies

At Trabocca, we go beyond these policies for our own operations and our supply chain. Most of the impact our business has on the environment and on people, occurs at origin. To make sure we monitor relevant risks and act on adverse impacts, or opportunities for positive impact, we have a thorough, mandatory vendor approval process and Due Diligence System. This system is based on the OECD Guidance for responsible business conduct and is a continuous process that helps identify risks relating to human rights, labour rights and the environment with a view to ending, preventing or mitigating those risks.

For raw materials from countries or product groups with risk, Trabocca requires transparency and assurance in a way that it deems appropriate to the situation, including whether there is a direct or indirect relationship with the producers. The goal is either:

  • Certification or auditing by an independent third party, or
  • Verification by Trabocca of information provided through our supplier questionnaires

We aim to have our full supply base analysed and registered in our system as either certified or verified in 2024, and commit to annual progress updates. Read more detail in our policy documents:
