Our Commitment to Sustainable Coffee
Since our beginnings over 17 years ago, sustainability has been at the heart of Academia Barista Pro. It's not just a concept; it's the way we work, teach, and live coffee.
It all started with a basic principle in our first coffee shop: minimizing waste. This simple action taught us the most important lesson about sustainability: it's an intelligent balance between economic well-being (saving resources), environmental responsibility (reducing waste), and social impact (educating others).
We believe that every person in the coffee chain, from the barista to the consumer at home, has the power to create a positive impact.
The Ultimate Tool for the Modern Professional
To drive this change, we are proud to present the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) Coffee Sustainability Program. This cutting-edge program was created to equip professionals with the knowledge and tools to build a more resilient and equitable future for coffee.
