Our Strengths in Honduras
Honduras is a major producer of coffee, and we are one of the country’s main exporters. More than 100,000 families are involved in coffee production across Honduras, and approximately 95% are small-scale farmers.
Our global reach combined with our local knowledge and sustainable approach makes us a trusted partner of more than 25,000 of these coffee farmers, as we export their goods around the world. In this way, we contribute both to the country’s economy and to its worldwide positioning as a supplier of excellent coffee.
As a world leader in the processing and marketing of coffee, at LDC we are committed to supplying safe products, in a responsible manner and guaranteeing a fluid, traceable and sustainable supply chain. See how we do it in our Quality and Food Safety Policy.
Committed to Sustainability
We encourage the adoption of best agricultural, social and economic practices in coffee production by our partners, and are constantly evaluating the social and environmental impact of our activities.
We also participate in various responsible origination initiatives, focusing on quality and on product traceability. We have launched our Conduct Manual for Raw Material Suppliers, in addition to working with 4C, UTZ, Rainforest Alliance and C.A.F.E. Practices checks and certifications.
Global Code of Conduct for Coffee Suppliers
We aim at spreading sustainable practices throughout the coffee value chain. This Code of Conduct sets out to serve as a common base for our coffee suppliers and is intended to provide them with an understanding of our expectations for responsible practices.
