International Coffee Organization and ITC launch the Coffee Sustainability Support Database (C2SD)

The International Coffee Organization (ICO), in collaboration with the International Trade Centre (ITC) through its Alliances for Action initiative, has officially launched a powerful new digital resource: the Coffee Sustainability Support Database (C2SD).

Şeffaflığı artırmak, küresel işbirliğini teşvik etmek ve kahve sektörü genelinde sürdürülebilirlik çabalarını uyumlu hale getirmek için tasarlanan C2SD, 49 kahve üreticisi ülkede hem kamu hem de özel girişimleri kapsayan 440'tan fazla sürdürülebilirlik projesinin haritasını çıkaran interaktif bir platformdur.

A Centralized Platform for Collective Impact

The C2SD is an evolved version of the ICO’s original Coffee Sustainability Map and was co-created by the ICO’s Coffee Public-Private Task Force (CPPTF) – Technical Workstream 3 on Importing Countries – alongside ITC and its Coffee Guide Network, with co-funding from the European Commission and ITC Trust Fund donors.

This platform addresses a longstanding issue in the coffee sector: fragmentation of information. Despite the abundance of sustainability initiatives, the absence of a central reference tool has hindered global coordination, reduced investment efficiency, and limited collective impact.

C2SD, çeşitli sürdürülebilirlik çabalarını erişilebilir tek bir dijital haritada birleştirerek kimin neyi, nerede ve nasıl yaptığına dair net bir genel bakış sağlar:

  • Identification of overlaps, gaps, and under-served regions

  • Collaboration and co-investment opportunities

  • Informed decision-making by governments, funders, NGOs, and industry players

  • Acceleration of impact through shared knowledge and strategic alignment

A Public Good for the Coffee Sector

The C2SD is more than a database — it’s a sector-wide resource designed to empower producers, policymakers, and private sector actors to align their efforts toward a fairer and more sustainable global coffee economy.

The platform is also deeply integrated with The Coffee Guide — the ITC’s flagship publication — where sustainability is a central theme of the fourth edition. The Coffee Guide Network helped shape the C2SD by recognizing a crucial need: a shared, up-to-date understanding of sustainability activities across producing countries.

Veri Setinin Kapsamı ve Güvenilirliği

  • 440 sustainability projects

  • Covering 49 coffee-producing countries

  • Time horizon: 2017 to 2027

Strengthening Global Coordination for a Sustainable Coffee Future

As climate challenges intensify, farmer incomes stagnate, and the sector faces mounting social and environmental pressures, the launch of the Coffee Sustainability Support Database is a timely and strategic step forward.

It signals a renewed commitment by the ICO, ITC, and partners to build a coffee sector that is inclusive, transparent, and sustainable — for producers, for businesses, and for future generations.
