Statement of support

“Dunkin’ is proud to join the Sustainable Coffee Challenge and to work, alongside other major brands, to see that coffee is sustainably sourced around the world.

Our Commitments

A percentage of sales from every pound of Original blend coffee beans sold to Dunkin' franchisees for use in Dunkin' restaurants will now go to World Coffee Research [WCR] in support of coffee sustainability efforts. This financial contribution, which could amount to $2MM over the course of 5 years will support WCR's mission to grow, protect, and enhance supplies of quality coffee, while improving the livelihoods of the families who produce it.

In partnership with: National DCP and World Coffee Research

UN Sustainable Development Goals

Through a $200,000 donation from Dunkin’, by the end of 2021, One Tree Planted will plant a total of 200,000 trees throughout Honduras and Guatemala, including areas that are essential to regional environmental stability, increased rural farmer productivity, and the livelihoods of thousands of people. This tree-planting program will create significant benefits to these regions, including improving air and water quality, improving soil health, increasing wildlife biodiversity, and providing jobs in local communities.
