VIENNA, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Climate change, rising commodity prices and increasing pressure on global coffee cultivation are transforming the coffee industry worldwide. Julius Meinl is responding with long-term investments in programmes for coffee farming communities, more sustainable production processes and the expansion of Responsibly Selected Coffee. The Sustainability Report 2025 is out now and shows how the Vienna-based family business continues to advance sustainability across its entire value chain, from coffee origin to its own production sites.

"As a family-owned business, we think in generations. For us, sustainability is a long-term investment in the future of the coffee world. This report shows how we approach our responsibility towards people, the planet and the origin of our coffee through concrete actions and long-term thinking", says Christina Meinl, VP Group Strategies, Brand & Corporate Communication and 5th generation family member.

More responsibility where coffee grows

Julius Meinl sources green coffee from 16 countries of origin. A key milestone was reached at the end of 2025: 100% Responsibly Selected Coffee was sourced for our roasting plants in Vienna and Vicenza, marking the achievement of one of the company's key sustainability targets. This means that all green coffee is sourced according to the sustainability criteria of the Global Coffee Platform, covering environmental, social and economic aspects.

The Generations Programme was expanded ahead of schedule from two to four countries of origin, Julius Meinl now supports coffee farmers in Colombia, Uganda, India and Honduras through regenerative agriculture, income diversification and the targeted empowerment of women and younger generations in coffee farming communities. The programme aims to strengthen the long-term resilience of farming communities against the impacts of climate change. More than 1.500 coffee farmers and their families are currently involved in ongoing and planned project activities.
