VIENNA, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --
"", says Christina Meinl, VP Group Strategies, Brand & Corporate Communication and 5th generation family member.
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.

In 2025, Julius Meinl implemented further measures to reduce its environmental footprint. With the implementation of new emission-reducing technologies in the remaining two roasters in 2025, a reduction of emissions per roasting batch by up to 50% is achieved. At the same time, Julius Meinl continues to use 100% renewable electricity at its production sites in Vienna and Vicenza. Globally, renewable electricity accounts for 81% of electricity used across the company's operations.
Julius Meinl's Sustainability Report 2025 highlights how the company is advancing sustainability worldwide through concrete actions, from coffee origin to its own production sites. While sustainability reporting is not mandatory for Julius Meinl, the company has been voluntarily publishing sustainability reports for several years, underlining its commitment to transparency.
Sustainability also plays an important role in the company's financing strategy: for the second year in a row, Julius Meinl achieved all defined ESG targets linked to its sustainability-related corporate financing and continued to receive strong ESG ratings from banks and financial partners.
