Environment
How do you manage your environmental impact? This includes energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, water, and waste.
Accountability must be demonstrable
In November 2025, CleverCoffee received a Platinum medal from EcoVadis with a score of 92 out of 100 points. The assessment looks at how we organize and document our work with the environment, working conditions, human rights, and ethics.
At the time of publication, we ranked among the top 1% of the best-rated companies across industries that EcoVadis had assessed in the preceding 12 months. We are proud of this.
What does that mean for you as a coffee customer?
When you choose a coffee supplier, you are also choosing a business partner.
The EcoVadis assessment provides you with an external basis for evaluating the company behind the coffee. It is not a certification of the coffee itself.
For those of you choosing coffee for the workplace, the assessment can be part of your supplier selection and used when explaining the choice to colleagues or management.
We believe that good coffee and transparency go hand in hand. We strive for both.
With its assessment, EcoVadis has confirmed that we mean it – and can prove it – when we talk about being a responsible coffee company. And that we are gladly open about all aspects of our business.

Behind the 92 points lies a thorough piece of work
One thing is to talk about how we work. Another is to present the documentation.
Our development manager, Johanne Fangel, led the effort to gather the material for EcoVadis. Policies, procedures, and reporting were intended to support our answers and show how the work is carried out in practice.
This is the part of CleverCoffee you rarely see when you open a bag of coffee or have your first cup of the day at the office. The assessment gives you a behind-the-scenes look.
The 3 areas we are assessed on
Working conditions and human rights
How are working conditions, health and safety, equal treatment, and respect for human rights addressed?
Ethics
Does the company work to prevent corruption, ensure fair competition, and handle information responsibly?
Curious about what lies beneath?
The points don't tell the whole story.
In our Transparency Report, you can read about our carbon footprint, the reforestation project in Honduras, what we paid the coffee farmers, and more.
