Since then we have achieved a lot and seen phenomenal growth, but our core purpose remains the same. We stand for sustainable farming and better opportunities for farmers, their families and our planet.

Through the UTZ program BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS farmers grow better crops and generate more income while safeguarding the environment and securing the earth’s natural BETTER FARMING BETTER FUTURE resources, now and in the future. BETTER CARE BETTER FOR NATURE Coffee, cocoa and tea products do not get the UTZ label easily. ENVIRONMENT Our strict requirements on good agricultural practices and management, safe and healthy working conditions, no child BETTER CARE FOR labor and protection of the environment are closely monitored NEXT GENERATIONS by independent third parties. UTZ tracks and traces the coffee, cocoa and tea from the farm to the store. This way, consumers can be sure that their trusted product was grown, harvested and processed sustainably. And that tastes a lot better. Annual Report 2013 - 3 MESSAGE FROM THE UTZ TEAM 2013 has been a year of growth and consolidation for our program. With more farmers and clients joining our program, we are now coming close to a point where sustainability is seen as an essential part of production and sourcing in the coffee, tea and cocoa sectors. At the same time a growing volume of evidence is demonstrating the positive impact of UTZ. Bringing good practice Demonstrating and improving impact to scale With growth comes greater impact. One of the most We are proud to report important achievements in 2013 was the work done to significant growth this year in publish the UTZ Certified Impact Report in January 2014. both the supply and demand of Bringing together the results of 24 independent studies, UTZ certified products.

The findings reveal the impact the UTZ program supply increasing by almost is having, with farmers tending to achieve higher yields of 30%. The supply of UTZ certified cocoa is almost as large as better crops and being able to improve the quality of their UTZ certified coffee and cocoa has now surpassed coffee lives as well as those of their families and their workers. For in terms of demand. We saw continued support from major example, Kenyan tea farmers were able to improve their global brands as well as new partners joining the program, yields by 11% and Vietnamese coffee farmers found that increasing the volumes of UTZ certified products on store they were able to market their coffee more easily, thanks shelves around the world. to higher-quality crops. The report also shows challenges, which we seize as learning opportunities. Certification once meant niche products for niche consumers. Today that picture has completely changed. According to We will continue to measure our impact through further the IISD’s State of Sustainability Initiatives Review (2014), studies over the coming years to help us strengthen and of all cocoa produced in the world, 13% is UTZ certified and improve what we do. together all certification schemes account for 22% of global production. In coffee, certified production is now at 21%, Our work to update and strengthen our Code of Conduct with UTZ contributing 9%. Together, we are approaching the continued this year, as we prepare to relaunch it in 2014. This tipping point where sustainable farming is becoming the rule process has involved wide consultation with our stakeholders rather than the exception. As more major brands and retailers and we are confident that the new Code will help us achieve commit to sustainable sourcing, this process will accelerate. even more for farmers in the years ahead. 4 - UTZ Certified Innovation and partnership partners, the farmers and farmer groups, traders, brand Our continued success and growth enable us to look beyond manufacturers, retailers, governments and NGOs across the our core activities at new and innovative ways of creating globe who, like us, are committed to progress in sustainable positive change on some of the most challenging issues for farming.

  • CBI Product Factsheet
    CBI Product Factsheet: Tea in the Netherlands Introduction The Netherlands is the fifth-largest tea-consuming country in Europe. The majority of opportunities exist in the area of high-quality and value-added products (e.g. loose tea, green tea, herbal/traditional medicinal tea and slimming tea). The Dutch market for certified tea is growing rapidly as well. Product Definition The word ‘tea’ refers to a hot beverage that is prepared by infusing or brewing the dried leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. There are at least six different types of tea: green, white, yellow, oolong, black, and dark post-fermented tea (or black tea for the Chinese). The most commonly found on the market are black, green, oolong and white (see table 1). Flavours of tea Oxidation is the distinguishing factor that determines whether tea leaves will become black, oolong, green or white tea. It is a chemical process that results in the browning of tea leaves and the production of flavour and aroma compounds in finished teas. During the oxidation process (sometimes also referred to as ‘fermentation’), the flavours and aromas of tea become fuller and deeper. In general, black tea is fully oxidised, oolong is partially oxidised, green tea is processed to stop oxidation (only minimal oxidation or no oxidation at all occurs) and white tea is unoxidised. Table 1: the most common teas and their flavours Tea Description Flavour Black tea Black tea is the most common type of tea in the Black tea is noted for its full, bold flavour and its ability to Western world.

  • Effects of Voluntary Sustainability Standards and Related Supply Chain Initiatives on Yield, Price, Costs and Income in the Agriculture Sector July 2019
    Effects of Voluntary Sustainability Standards and Related Supply Chain Initiatives on Yield, Price, Costs and Income in the Agriculture Sector July 2019 Executive Summary In an effort to improve stakeholder access to research results about the social, economic, and environmental impacts of voluntary sustainability standards (VSS) and related supply chain initiatives, ISEAL, WWF, and the Rainforest Alliance have partnered to create the online platform Evidensia. In addition to serving as a searchable repository for credible research, Evidensia features ‘visual summaries,’ which combine the findings of numerous rigorous studies into a single graphic. Each visual summary is accompanied by a narrative report that explains the review methodology and synthesizes the underlying data. This is one such report, which analyzes the economic costs and benefits of participation in VSS and related supply chain initiatives for smallholder farmers. Approach Using a modified systematic review approach, the report authors reviewed 49 studies that examined the impact of VSS participation on five livelihood-related outcomes: yield, input costs, crop prices, crop income, and net household income. In all, 212 individual results for these five outcomes were analyzed. The report builds on the results of two key reviews of the economic impacts of VSS published by Oya et al. and DeFries et al. published in 2017. Three studies examining 11 results from related supply chain initiatives, such as company sourcing codes, were also analyzed and are discussed separately from VSS results in this report. Findings The findings show that the volume of research on VSS has increased over time, with a peak in 2016. Africa was the most frequently-studied region, coffee was the most frequently-studied crop, and Fairtrade was the most frequently-studied VSS, results that are consistent with those of the Oya et al.

  • Channel Marketing for UTZ Certified Market Development December 2013
    This reference handout is based on a live webinar given by Sarah Browne, Customer Marketing Manager. It includes slides from the webinar, along with notes of the spoken text shared during the event. Today’s consumers are paying closer and closer attention to companies’ environmental and social impact, they expect businesses to take responsibility. That puts the onus on you, and there is an increasing pressure to show, and of course do the right thing. A recent report by Edelman states that 90% of people want brands and companies to share their experiences more, (and this by the way included ‘open and transparent communication about how products were sourced and made’). But, only 10% think they do it well. That said, people reward brands that share. The study shows there is a strong correlation between brands that share and people’s intent to use, purchase and recommend that brand. But as we all know, sustainability is a complex topic, and sustainable sourcing is only one element of your strategy. So your challenge, as brand owners and manufacturers, is to bring to life this complex world in a meaningful and simple way that is relevant to your target audience. Not only can this be extremely effective in driving a brand’s purpose and positioning it externally to its customers and consumers, but also internally with your colleagues and employees. How do you do that? By sourcing UTZ coffee, cocoa and tea, you are contributing to improving the livelihood of farmers and their families around the world. That is already a good story to tell.
