Impactkaffe® – making office coffee work for nature, climate and people

In a saturated coffee market, MENY Kaffe wanted to do more than just offer good beans.

From Commodity to Commitment

With Impactkaffe®, developed by Peter Larsen Kaffe and supported by GrowGrounds, MENY Kaffe introduces a coffee concept tailored for companies and institutions that want to align their everyday coffee with their sustainability goals.

The aim is simple but powerful: transform coffee from a passive commodity into an active contributor to nature-growth, climate solutions, and farmer livelihoods.

 

MENY Kaffe First-Year Results with Nature-Growing ImpactKaffe®

In 2025, MENY Kaffe took a decisive step toward a more responsible and future-proof coffee supply chain in partnership with Peter Larsen Kaffe and GrowGrounds. With a total annual coffee volume of 79,022 kg, MENYinvested into Nature-Growing ImpactKaffe® – in a model that directly converts coffee purchases into verified climate, nature, and livelihood impact in origin countries.

 

Climate impact

The first year of implementation resulted in 403,012 kg of CO₂e sequestered, equivalent to 5.1 kg CO₂e per kg of roasted coffee. This impact is achieved through the establishment of biodiverse agroforestry systems, where carbon is stored in trees, soils, and restored ecosystems while improving long-term farm resilience.

 

Impact at origin

MENY Kaffe’s investment has already generated tangible results for farmers and local communities:

  • 173 coffee farms are transitioning to agroforestry
  • 568 hectares of farmland have been converted from monoculture to nature-growing systems
  • 56,763 trees planted as part of the transformation
  • 1,038 people experiencing improved livelihoods
  • 346 farmers and employees trained in agroforestry and sustainable farming practices
  • 33 additional plant species introduced (10 fruit species and 23 other tree species), enhancing biodiversity and food security

 

From commitment to action

These results demonstrate how MENY Kaffemoves beyond targets and claims to deliver real, measurable impact. Through Peter Larsen Kaffe ImpactKaffe®, coffee sourcing becomes an active investment in ecosystem restoration, climate mitigation, and resilient livelihoods – fully documented and embedded at farm level.

This first year represents the beginning of a multi-year journey, where MENY Kaffe, Peter Larsen Kaffe and GrowGrounds work together to secure coffee, nature, and farmer livelihoods for generations to come.

A Coffee Concept With Built-In Impact

Impactkaffe® is more than a coffee concept – it’s a transformation program.

All of MENY Kaffe’s whole beans include Impactkaffe® Premium and every bag of whole beans supports the shift from conventional, monoculture-based coffee farming to nature-growing agroforestry systems in some of the world’s most climate-vulnerable coffee regions.

Through our model, partner cooperatives in Latin America and East-Africa are reforesting degraded land, capturing carbon, and building resilient farming systems – backed by traceable data and ongoing fieldwork.

For MENY Kaffe’s customers – public institutions, canteens, offices, and private companies – Impactkaffe® is a plug-and-play way to:

  • Deliver on ESG goals
    Scope 3 emissions, nature action, and supply chain due diligence become tangible – and drinkable.

  • Communicate real action
    Clients receive documentation of their contribution, impact stories from origin, and visuals they can use in CSR, reporting, or internal campaigns.

  • Engage employees and guests
    Coffee becomes a conversation starter. Many companies use Impactkaffe® in onboarding packs, sustainability days, and canteen storytelling. Employees know their daily cup contributes to climate resilience and forest restoration.

  • Strengthen brand & purpose
    In an era where stakeholders expect more than reducing their negative impacts, Impactkaffe® delivers credible climate and nature improvements within the supply chain itself.

Early Outcomes

  • Hundreds of coffee farmers are now implementing agroforestry conversion with support from the Impactkaffe model

  • Thousands of trees planted and monitored, including native and shade species

  • Verified CO₂ removals in process, with planned integration into carbon accounting systems

  • New institutional clients are joining, bringing coffee and climate commitments closer together
