Corporate Responsibilities

Coffee is our passion.

Code of Conduct

Coffee is a vulnerable, volatile business, but we love it regardless, and we want it to thrive.

As a Group, NKG strives to create and inspire change across the industry to make coffee holistically sustainable. We want to champion causes that give the industry the best chance of growth and sustainability. The coffee business is also a people business, and we want to ensure everyone is cared for, which means ensuring that everyone on every part of the coffee value chain is financially enabled.

NKG’s Responsible Business Program (RBP) outlines the tenets that align the Group’s many businesses, and cements our commitment to creating a sustainable coffee business.

Business Responsibility

Our love for coffee transcends connecting clients to their favourite origins. It includes our responsibility to every aspect of the coffee value chain – from the coffee itself to the environment and the people working hard to care for, cultivate, and curate it.

With our four focus areas in mind, we keep the Group aligned and fortify the coffee value chain.

Industry and Community

Indonesia’s coffee industry has thrived since the 19th century, and continues to shine on the global stage.

But it takes a village, sometimes even more. As Indonesia’s coffee space continues to bloom, the industry and government bodies have started more initiatives and support systems to assist where necessary.

The Specialty Coffee Association of Indonesia (SCAI) and the Sustainable Coffee Platform of Indonesia (SCOPI) are two organizations established for the local coffee community. Both offer programs, events, and community, all to support and enable financially vulnerable stakeholders along the coffee chain, and safekeeping the environment to ensure the sustainability of coffee for the future.
