Who we are

The initiative for coffee&climate (c&c) is a pre-competitive and open initiative of leading coffee companies and development organizations. We support smallholder coffee farming families and their communities to effectively respond to climate change and increase their resilience.

c&c was founded in 2010 by International Coffee Partners (ICP), a pre-competitive partnership of seven leading family-owned coffee companies. c&c projects have been coordinated and implemented by Hanns R. Neumann Stiftung (HRNS) ever since.
Since its founding in 2010, c&c has been working in seven regions worldwide and through the commitment of c&c members has supported more than 142,000 smallholder coffee farming households.
