Remediation Systems (CLMRS) in all high-risk supply chains with 50,000 children benefitting from educational support to protect human rights<br \/>\n\u2022 Accelerating decarbonization: Scaling up climate-smart actions and resource efficiency to reduce on-farm GHG emissions by 30% and by 50%[iii] in processing plants<br \/>\n\u2022 Restoring coffee landscapes: Working towards regenerative production systems to build Natural Capital while embedding geo-spatial tools in deforestation monitoring systems<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur history of effective action for farmers, rural communities, climate and nature, as highlighted in our recent Impact Report, shows that we understand and can develop effective strategies to simultaneously address the most pressing challenges in the industry. Which is why, with the constantly evolving requirements of a sustainable coffee supply chain, we are looking to scale up our efforts and action under Coffee LENS with bigger and bolder targets for 2030,\u201d Verma said.<\/p>\n<p>The new targets come as food companies look to prepare for increasingly active enforcement on human rights and new EU rules on disclosing nature and climate risks, requiring the industry to move faster than ever before on traceability, human rights, and environmental due diligence in order to remain relevant. ofi\u2019s coffee teams, embedded in 18 origins across the coffee belt, will draw on innovation and digital capabilities to develop and scale solutions that tackle issues from child labour risks to deforestation, helping its customers to navigate the evolving landscape and achieve their responsible sourcing commitments. For example, a Carbon Sequestration Monitoring (CSM) tool developed by ofi and Google geo-spatial partner NGIS, is being rolled out to measure and account for gains and losses in carbon stocks on ofi\u2019s coffee, as well as cashew and cocoa, suppliers\u2019 farms, and sourcing landscapes.<\/p>\n<p>The digital tool is one of several helping to bolster ofi\u2019s existing monitoring frameworks and drive more efficient interventions to help meet its targets, which include implementing remediation actions whenever deforestation risks are identified in its supply chains. Verma concluded: \u201cOur bolder approach means that whether we\u2019re supplying specialty coffees, cascara applications, or plant-based latte mixes, we can offer our roaster and manufacturer customers beverage ingredients that come with greater transparency and sustainability impact across their supply chains.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Read ofi\u2019s Coffee LENS report here: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/431Doo9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/431Doo9<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div  class='av-social-sharing-box  avia-builder-el-11  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  av-social-sharing-box-minimal '><div class='av-share-box'><h5 class='av-share-link-description av-no-toc '>Share this<\/h5><ul class='av-share-box-list noLightbox'><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-facebook' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Facebook\" href='https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sharer.php?u=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/ofi-raises-sustainability-ambition-for-coffee-business-with-2030-targets-to-cut-emissions-and-uplift-farmers\/&#038;t=ofi%20raises%20sustainability%20ambition%20for%20coffee%20business%20with%202030%20targets%20to%20cut%20emissions%20and%20uplift%20farmers' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f3' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Facebook' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Facebook<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-twitter' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on Twitter\" href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=ofi%20raises%20sustainability%20ambition%20for%20coffee%20business%20with%202030%20targets%20to%20cut%20emissions%20and%20uplift%20farmers&#038;url=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/?p=11779' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8f1' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on Twitter' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on Twitter<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-whatsapp' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on WhatsApp\" href='https:\/\/api.whatsapp.com\/send?text=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/ofi-raises-sustainability-ambition-for-coffee-business-with-2030-targets-to-cut-emissions-and-uplift-farmers\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\uf232' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on WhatsApp' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on WhatsApp<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-linkedin' ><a target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Share on LinkedIn\" href='https:\/\/linkedin.com\/shareArticle?mini=true&#038;title=ofi%20raises%20sustainability%20ambition%20for%20coffee%20business%20with%202030%20targets%20to%20cut%20emissions%20and%20uplift%20farmers&#038;url=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/ofi-raises-sustainability-ambition-for-coffee-business-with-2030-targets-to-cut-emissions-and-uplift-farmers\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue8fc' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share on LinkedIn' rel=\"noopener\"><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share on LinkedIn<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class='av-share-link av-social-link-mail' ><a  aria-label=\"Share by Mail\" href='mailto:?subject=ofi%20raises%20sustainability%20ambition%20for%20coffee%20business%20with%202030%20targets%20to%20cut%20emissions%20and%20uplift%20farmers&#038;body=https:\/\/fei-online.com\/ofi-raises-sustainability-ambition-for-coffee-business-with-2030-targets-to-cut-emissions-and-uplift-farmers\/' aria-hidden='false' data-av_icon='\ue805' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' title='' data-avia-related-tooltip='Share by Mail'><span class='avia_hidden_link_text'>Share by Mail<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div><div class=\"flex_column av_one_fifth  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding   avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_three_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  \" style='border-radius:0px;
