Coffee

Wake up and smell the coffee. Thanks to our relationships with coffee farmers around the world, we can cater to a wide range of needs. Whether you're looking for large responsibly sourced volumes to niche coffee for the specialty market, we can help. 

Ready-to-drink

Ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages are an important part of busy consumers’ daily routines around the world. Our ingredients can bring diverse flavor notes and creaminess while addressing common challenges like texture. Choose from our huge array of nut, dairy, cocoa and soluble coffee ingredients designed to suit regional tastes. 

Ready-to-mix

Achieving the right flavor, ingredient stability and shelf life for ready-to-mix (RTM) beverages is no easy task. Tap into ofi’s expertise and we can help you cater to the precise needs of your market. How about blending soluble coffee or cocoa with nut powder and a vegan creamer for a tasty, foamy 3-in-1 powder mix? 

Hot beverages

Smooth, flavorsome, satisfying. For a hot drink that does it all, look to our wide selection of ingredients, including soluble coffee, cocoa and spices. We offer consistent quality at scale for creating the best hot coffees, chocolates, lattes and spiced teas. 

Cold beverages

Easy on the eye, refreshing on the tongue. Our innovation experts can help you create cold beverages with the perfect color and flavor. Savory nut beverages or iced tea produced from coffee cascara – you name it, we can make it. 

Dairy alternative drinks

Plant-based beverages can be so much more than a dairy substitute – the buzz around innovation is reaching new highs. For example, our barista-grade nut beverages offer a well-rounded taste profile and are specially formulated for stability at high temperatures. For indulgence, look no further than our plant-based chocolate drinks.

Plant-based chocolate milk

With our almond, cashew & hazelnut blend, chocolate milk can be a treat that’s both nutritious and delicious. Unlock the possibilities of an indulgent and plant-based chocolate drink that can taste just as sweet as dairy, but with less sugar.

Press Release Oct 7, 2024
ofi shortlisted in trio of sustainability awards for pioneering social impact initiatives

On International Coffee Day, the World Coffee Innovation Awards prized ofi's efforts to address child labor risks in major coffee-growing origins with its ‘Coffee Kindergartens’ initiative winning the ‘Best Sustainability Initiative’ category.

 

The Kindergartens are set up by ofi’s local coffee teams each year, supported by its specialty coffee business Covoya, in areas identified as high-risk through community surveys, part of its Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation System (CLMRS). They offer a safe space for children to play and learn during the school holidays while their parents harvest coffee on the farms.

 

The success of the first Coffee Kindergarten in Guatemala, run in partnership with NGO Funcafé in 2020, attracted support from donors and customers, allowing ofi to expand the initiative to set up a further 22 Kindergartens last year in Guatemala and two in Honduras and Nicaragua with local NGO Educo.

 

On the same day, the Reuters Sustainability Awards shortlisted ofi in the Business Transformation category for pioneering work in natural capital accounting. ofi was one of the first companies in the world to start reporting the impact of its sustainability efforts in dollars and cents through its Integrated Impact Statement (IIS) and today, is applying multi-capital accounting to delve into the year-on-year monetary impact of selected coffee and cocoa programs.

 

ofi was also shortlisted in the Social Impact category for its first social capital impact valuation which assessed the value of customized support delivered to approximately1,000 coffee farmers as part of a living income project in Honduras with partner ALDI SOUTH Group. Analysis for the 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 crop years revealed a Social Return on Investment (SROI) of eight dollars for every dollar invested.

 

Roel Van Poppel, Chief Sustainability Officer at ofi said: "These achievements reflect our ongoing efforts to double down on the topics that matter most to our customers and the communities where we operate, and where we can make the greatest impact.

 

“We are able to do this because of the expertise and relationships we’ve grown in the heart of farming communities. And we’re choosing to achieve a lot more under our ‘Choices for Change’ sustainability strategy with 2030 targets to raise 200,000 ofi farmer households to a living income and remediate 100% of identified human rights cases, which our plans for 50 new Coffee Kindergartens will contribute to. We are inviting our customers and other partners across the supply chains to join these projects so we can collectively drive positive change.”
