October #CoffeeBreak

A Win-Win situation for this “climate smart region”?

Can the coffee industry become more inclusive when women and young people are empowered in leadership roles? That’s the question Fondazione Lavazza , alongside the non-profit organization Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung - HRNS , set out to answer in Honduras. Through their joint efforts, they have helped over 100 farms boost their income and enhance sustainability by introducing a variety of fruit plants. This initiative not only supports economic growth but also promotes a more inclusive and sustainable future for coffee-growing communities.

Discover the positive change that Lavazza Foundation has brought to Honduras.

Sometimes, all it takes is a grain

Our brand Carte Noire is brewing up creativity in the coffee world! As one of the most appreciated coffee brands in the French market, it's now taking an imaginative step forward with its new communication platform, “Le grain”.

It celebrates how even a little coffee bean can be the starting point of great changes and achievements: to create, to assert ourselves, to stand out, to love each other, to get started. To achieve something great, sometimes you just have to start with a small gesture, like enjoying a cup of Carte Noire coffee.

Seeing the world through each bean

November will see the start of the second edition of the Lavazza Group Ambassador Program, the project that allows People from our Group to visit coffee-producing countries and communities where we are present through the Lavazza Foundation's projects. Last year, 18 Ambassadors were able to experience all the passion that drives the people who grow coffee, trying their hand at producers’ daily activities and discovering their traditions and rituals. Upon returning from this experience, their stories captured just how much the experience changed their perspectives and their perception of the world contained in each cup of coffee.

We can’t wait to hear the stories from this year’s trips!

In the meantime, you can revisit the past edition here .

Working for a better future with the Lavazza Foundation

"In the first twenty years of Fondazione Lavazza 's activities, we have charted a course that has seen an unwavering commitment to sustainability and to positively impacting the communities in which we operate at the center of our actions. The Foundation is not just a tool, it is an integral part of our DNA and the strategic thinking that guides us. It is a source of pride to see how far we have come today. What is still ahead pushes us to always work on supporting concrete actions in all the places and communities we are present. Coffee remains our guiding thread and our source of inspiration, because we want it to continue to be a symbol of dialogue and prosperity, a development opportunity for a better future", said our Group Chairman Giuseppe Lavazza .
