Your tasks

4C (Certification for Climate, Conservation, and Communities) is a global certification scheme for sustainable coffee and cocoa. 4C certification focuses on good agricultural and management practices, including requirements on economic, social, and environmental conditions for coffee production and processing in order to establish credible, sustainable, and transparent supply chains. Independent certification bodies verify compliance with the 4C requirements. 4C was developed in a comprehensive and transparent multi-stakeholder process involving coffee/cocoa producers, trade and industry, as well as organizations from civil society around the world. 4C aims to move the entire coffee or cocoa sector towards sustainability practices. 4C operates in 25 countries and is one of the largest certification systems in the coffee sector.

Since 2020, the 4C System has evolved into a robust, benchmarked standard, defining clear social, environmental, and economic criteria. Alongside certification, we provide innovative solutions to help companies comply with global regulations and strengthen responsible supply chains in a changing world.
