Quality
We are convinced that the global coffee market needs a strong small holder farmer base in order to ensure the supply of quality and variety.
Partnership
Each individual farmer, embedded in his community or cooperative, is a partner to us. Our aim is to create a "level playing field" by supporting farmer competitiveness. In our experience, a grassroots and hands-on project approach, working at market conditions, is the most effective way to achieve this aim.
Sustainability
Only if economic, social and environmental aspects are in balance, it will be possible to achieve a long-term success. Although each individual project runs for a limited period of time (usually 3-5 years) our commitment is long-term. ICP is not a standard itself, but we enable farmers to achieve compliance with widely accepted sustainability standards if they wish.
Accountability
