Since time immemorial, people have always travelled and the world has always traded their products. But it is also true that global temperature never rose so fast as in the last 35 years.
If climate change will be held in a temperature increase of 2ºC or less (Aim of the Paris Agreement 2015); By 2050 it is estimated that 40% of all Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions will be caused by ships and airplanes only, if not properly regulated.
Right now, there are about 50,000 ships sailing the oceans and seas, to bring us 90% of all the products we consume daily. From bananas to petrol and from cell phones to coffee beans. Almost everything the world produces is transported by ships.
And despite the fact that many innovations have been made to improve the efficiency of airframes, engines, aerodynamics and the general operations of airplanes, only in the European Union, greenhouse gas emissions from aviation increased by 87% between 1990 and 2006.

In Kilimanjaro Specialty Coffees we travel directly to origin to search, cup and select those extraordinary coffee lots you enjoy so much. We can't do this work by video-conference or by phone, it is essential for us, to know the reality of the origin and the coffee producers. As well as for these coffees to reach your roaster at an attractive and competitive price, we must transport them by sea.
But we are aware of the impact that our work generates in the environment. Therefore, from this year onwards we will begin to measure the CO2 emissions that are released into the atmosphere due to our production process.
But we are aware of the impact that our work generates in the environment. Therefore, from this year onwards we will begin to measure the CO2 emissions that are released into the atmosphere due to our production process.
By identifying and quantifying our sources of CO2 emissions, we can define better objectives and more effective emission reduction strategies, in addition to a compensation commitment through the generation of incentives for planting more coffee trees in the different places of the world where we are working.
Our goal is to become a "Neutral Carbon" company, which means we are removing the same amount of CO2 from the atmosphere, as the one we are generating.
For a healthier planet, with more and better coffee.
