Workshop Description: The SCA Sustainability: Governance, Compliance & Reporting training focuses on the development of a Sustainable Coffee Assessment as the foundation for an effective and credible sustainability strategy.
During the 'sustainable coffee assessment' workshop, participants take the first concrete step in drawing up their own assessment. In doing so, we do not only look at compliance, but at the bigger picture: the system in which the coffee company operates and the role that different stakeholders play in it.
What are we going to do?
We start with an accessible explanation of systems theory and why it is essential for understanding sustainability issues in the coffee sector.
Participants learn to work with the SCA Systems Map to gain insight into interrelationships within the coffee chain.
We discuss the importance of stakeholders and how their interests, influence and impact contribute to a strong sustainability strategy.
We then introduce the materiality analysis and show how it helps to bring focus to priorities.
Participants work individually or in small groups on the first draft of their own Sustainable Coffee Assessment, with room for reflection and feedback.
Learning Objectives:
A first, substantiated design of a Sustainable Coffee Assessment
Insight into relevant themes and priorities for your own organization
A better basis for developing, refining and embedding a sustainability strategy
Practical tools to connect governance, compliance and impact
