What is Enveritas?
Founded in 2016, Enveritas operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit with a mission to provide comprehensive assessments of smallholder coffee farms worldwide. The organization visits tens of thousands of farms annually across Asia, Africa, and Latin America to understand their sustainability practices. Enveritas collaborates with leading coffee roasters, who fund these assessments, to gain insights into supply chain sustainability. This model ensures that smallholder farmers can access export markets by meeting sustainability standards, without bearing the cost of assessment themselves. Coffee companies engaging with Enveritas commit to annual independent assessments, proportional action on identified issues, and impact evaluations, enabling them to make responsible sourcing claims.
