How can the roasters prove that they really buy 4C Compliant Coffee?
Roasters receive a license number, or a copy of the license of the 4C Unit, with the shipping documents or the contract so they can prove they have bought 4C Compliant Coffee. At the end of every coffee year , all final buyers, for example roasters, soluble coffee manufacturers and retailers with private label coffees, report confidentially on the volumes purchased and received during that year. The 4C Secretariat makes aggregated figures available to its members and the public.
