KDP sources agricultural ingredients, Keurig brewer components and packaging raw materials from communities and ecosystems around the world, each with its own unique challenges. We are committed to 100% responsibly sourced coffee and cocoa, relying on third-party certification and verification programs to foster fundamental social, environmental and economic protections. As we expand our sustainable supply chain work into additional priority inputs such as apple and corn, we continue to take a holistic approach and build upon the interdependence of systems, such as natural ecosystems and agriculture and social communities, to achieve impact at scale. Responsible sourcing issues are varied and complex, so we use a combination of complementary tools and approaches to address them. For coffee, this commitment is achieved in partnership with accepted Responsible Sourcing partner programs, including Fairtrade International, Fair Trade USA, Rainforest Alliance, 4C, AtSource Entry Verified by ofi, and Great Lakes Coffee MaxTRACE.

Support regenerative agriculture or conservation on 250K acres of land by 2030. This effort will focus on KDP’s coffee, apple and corn supply chains.

Update

We have committed to support conservation and regenerative agriculture on 250,000 acres of land by 2030, which represents approximately 50% of the land used to grow three of KDP’s priority crops (coffee, corn and apple). KDP expects to meet this commitment through investments directly related to on-farm practices and through investing in conservation within the regions where these crops are grown. Because each cropping system, geography and climate is different, the activities for each project vary, yet the progress is measured via a standardized and transparent set of metrics that can be found in KDP’s Regenerative Agriculture & Conservation Monitoring & Evaluation Guide published on our website.

Responsibly source 100% of our coffee.

Update

June 2021

At KDP, responsibly sourced means that we work with our supply chain to ensure that fundamental human rights and environmental protectors are in place. To date, we have achieved this by purchasing inputs that are certified or verified to a third-party sustainable sourcing program, aligned with our KDP Supplier Code of Conduct. At the end of 2020, for coffee, our accepted third-party partner programs were Fairtrade International, Fair Trade USA, Rainforest Alliance and Utz. Beginning in 2021, we added new programs 4C, OLAM AtSource Entry Verified and Great Lakes Coffee MaxTRACE. These programs were added following evaluation against a comprehensive set of criteria. The development of these criteria included independent review by Conservation International and WWF.

During 2020, 82% of our purchases of green coffee were responsibly sourced through these sourcing programs, and by the end of 2020, all coffee contracted to be received going forward is 100% responsibly sourced.
