What is 4C Compliant Coffee?
4C Compliant Coffee is coffee originating from verified 4C Units and traded by members of the Association along the 4C coffee chain (see answer11, page 5). In line with the 4C Association’s membership concept, all actors along this supply chain have to be part of the 4C system in order to maintain the identity of 4C Compliant Coffee and enable traceability. Independent verifiers check that 4C Units meet the 4C baseline sustainability standards. 4C Trade and Industry Members commit to buying increasing volumes of 4C Compliant Coffee.
