Julius Meinl

Our Responsibly Selected Coffee Initiative

Enjoying a cup of Julius Meinl coffee is about more than just the taste. It is knowing the coffee you are drinking comes from one of our responsibly selected partners, acting to ensure a more sustainable coffee industry. That is why we started our Responsibly Selected Coffee Initiative.

‘Responsibly Selected Coffee’ means that the coffee has been purchased through sustainability schemes that align with the Global Coffee Platform’s (GCP) Coffee Sustainability Reference Code (Coffee SR Code). The Coffee SR Code is a sector-wide reference on the foundations of sustainability in economic, social and environmental dimensions for green coffee production and primary processing worldwide.



Responsibly Selected Coffee


In 2023, 42% of our coffee was sourced through schemes that align with the Coffee SR Code, a significant step forward. But our progress doesn’t end there. By the end of 2025, we are determined to source 100% of the green coffee roasted in our production plants in Vienna and Vicenza responsibly.


When you choose Julius Meinl, you’re not just enjoying a premium coffee experience—you’re supporting a more sustainable and equitable coffee industry. Together, we can make a meaningful difference, one cup at a time.

Our Goal: 100% Responsibly Selected Coffee



As part of our ongoing due diligence process, we collaborate with the non-profit organization Enveritas to conduct regular field assessments across a sample of our coffee supply chains. These assessments focus on identifying sustainability challenges and areas for improvement, evaluating both socio-economic factors and environmental stewardship.
