It’s a further demonstration of the consistency of our business model and of our managers’ capability to create an ethical context within the company, which is the base to develop a sustainable business model that will generate value for stakeholders”-he also added.

“Congratulations to everyone at Illycaffè for earning this recognition for the eighth consecutive year,” stated Ethisphere’s President, Timothy Erblich. “Today, ethics and values are among one of the most important drivers to stakeholders, and companies that uphold and deliver on their promises year-after-year are who will continue to grow within their industry,”-he added.

To expand its long-demonstrated dedication to the international coffee community, Illycaffè recently launched Circolo Illy, a digital platform for stakeholders within the coffee supply chain, such as producers, growers, exporters, agronomists, among others, who can now gain access, at no cost, to knowledge and dialogue that will promote sustainable growing practices helping to pursue a goal of spreading a culture of sustainable quality, virtuous partnership, and growth.
