Empowering women,
from the coffee fields
to the workplace

In honour of International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating the remarkable strides women have made, especially in the workplace. It’s a day to recognize the achievements of women worldwide and to acknowledge the ongoing efforts towards gender equality. It’s also a time to reflect on how we can actively support and uplift women in our workplace practices.
One area where your support can make a significant impact is in choosing to support women-owned businesses and initiatives that prioritize the empowerment of women. At Van Houtte Coffee Services, we’re proud to partner with &BACKTM, a brand that not only delivers exceptional locally roasted coffee but also embodies the spirit of women empowerment.
&BACKTM goes beyond just providing a delicious cup of coffee or espresso. They’re dedicated to actively supporting women coffee farmers and their communities in East Africa and Latin America. Through their commitment to Fairtrade, they ensure that women coffee farmers receive fair compensation for their hard work and dedication. &BACKTM also provides essential training which help these women secure prosperous futures in coffee farming.
When you choose &BACKTM for your workplace’s coffee solution, you’re not just enjoying a cup of coffee, you’re making a tangible difference in the lives of women coffee farmers around the globe. You’re contributing to their economic independence and promoting sustainable coffee farming practices.
