Women in Coffee

Women, coffee, the future.

A project that combines empowerment, community and the future.

Women in Coffee is Caffè Vergnano’s social sustainability project dedicated to women’s empowerment. It was created to support women on a journey that combines autonomy, opportunity and growth, both within and outside the coffee industry.
The project focuses on three areas: supporting women on coffee plantations, fostering women’s entrepreneurship in the hospitality industry and collaborating with organizations and initiatives that promote the protection and new paths for women to achieve independence​.

Beyond the supply chain, standing alongside women​
