Matthew Algie, the Glasgow-based coffee roaster, has introduced a pioneering two-year sustainability project aimed at decarbonizing its supply chain. The £50,000 initiative, named the Net Zero Supply Chains Pilot Project, focuses on reducing carbon emissions across coffee farms in Honduras. This project is a key part of the company’s broader strategy to achieve net zero emissions by 2040.
Collaborating with Solidaridad Network, an international nonprofit, Matthew Algie has already gathered data from 100 local coffee producers to better identify emission hotspots. The project also aims to enhance forest protection and gender equality within the coffee supply chain.
The initiative represents one of several sustainability efforts by Matthew Algie, including the recent upgrade of their coffee production facility for eco-friendly efficiency and the transition to recyclable packaging. As part of the project’s success, Matthew Algie plans to expand its impact to other coffee-producing regions globally, including countries like Brazil, Uganda, and Vietnam.
With over 90% of the company’s carbon footprint linked to supply chain emissions, this pilot project is crucial in refining strategies for further emission reductions and sustainability improvements across the coffee industry.
