How does coffee ground waste become a new raw material? Together with partners, Tchibo Austria has developed coffee-soil pellets that expand into nutrient-rich potting soil, keeping these valuable materials in the loop. Tune in to the new episode of our Tchibo podcast!

A unique flavor profile from Brazil and Tanzania, featuring delicious coffees from two Tchibo farms: Machare Farm in Tanzania and Ipanema Farm in Brazil. Working together with local farmers, the farms implement forward-looking, sustainable cultivation practices.

The Coffee Barometer shines a light on the current state of sustainability within the global coffee sector. Fifteen of the world’s largest roasters and traders were assessed on three dimensions: transparency, procurement practices, and environmental and climate commitments. Tchibo is included, too.

Deposit instead of packaging waste: Tchibo is the first company in the Austrian retail sector to launch a reusable deposit system for loose coffee beans. This pilot project is being launched in Vienna and Graz in partnership with the reusable packaging specialist circolution.

We are happy to support and share the report "Benchmarking Coffee Production and Climate Risk", published by TechnoServe and backed by UNIDO and leading coffee companies. It highlights where farmers are most vulnerable to climate change and identifies opportunities to strengthen the sector’s future.

Anyone seeking to make a difference in the world of coffee today must take responsibility - and bridge the gap between good intentions and genuine change. An issue dedicated to effectiveness: The Tchibo Kaffeereport 2026 (incidentally, already the 15th edition!) focuses on the topic of "Impact."

Part 2 of this series focuses on the on-site training sessions in Vietnam: It covers the growth of coffee plants - but also personal growth of people. No one-sided lectures, instead it’s all about active participation. Discover here how participatory approaches work within our Tchibo Coffee Program.

In this two-part series from Umweltdialog, join our colleague Fanny on her journey to Vietnam - a country that excels at producing coffee, yet remains poor. This is precisely where the Tchibo Coffee Program steps in: its goal is to improve farmers' incomes and stabilize their living conditions.

For the fourth time now, we are offering "Kahawa Skuli" - the school coffee from Tanzania. Launched in 2017 in collaboration with our partner City Coffee Ltd, the "Tanzania Coffee Clubs" initiative now involves seven schools and over 1,200 young farmers across the Mbeya and Songwe regions.

In 2025, WCR, with support from member companies and in collaboration with its global partners, made tremendous progress toward the development and distribution of tomorrow’s climate-resilient coffee varieties. We are part of it! Click here for the newly released 2025 annual report.

What does it take to make implementation work in practice? Meet our colleague Lena at next SASI Lunchbreak „Making Due Diligence Work in Practice“ on 7th May 2026, from 13.00 to 14.00 p.m. CET. Save the Date!

Under the title "Change and Impact", we are addressing the future viability of coffee: How can we strengthen farmers' economic resilience and prepare them for the consequences of climate change and other crises? We are looking at challenges, but also opportunities and concrete measures.

We are proud to be member of the Coffee Canopy Partnership! By combining high-resolution satellite imagery and AI technology, together we’re identifying deforestation risk, supporting landscape restoration and protecting the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers for generations to come.

Two years after its launch, Tchibo’s “Coffee2Stay” programme is having a tangible impact at source in our countries of origin: Already 22,000 farms in nine producing countries have been reached – significantly more than last year. More in our current press release.

Will we still have coffee tomorrow? We discussed this question at the "KLARTEXT" dialogue event in Berlin. The answer, of course, is neither simple nor straightforward. Many dimensions, perspectives, and challenges... We look back on an exciting event with valuable conversations and open dialogues.

About responsibility, prices, and the future of our favorite product: On April 14, 2026, we are hosting a dialogue event in Berlin – with stakeholders from business, civil society, consumer protection, science, and the media. Secure your participation now: klartext@tchibo-dialogveranstaltung.de

The Environmental Action Germany (Deutsche Umwelthilfe, DUH) has published the report "Forest in your coffee cup - Why clear rules for a sustainable coffee supply chain are essential" on the current state of German companies' preparations for the EUDR. Tchibo received a "good" in overall rating.
