UTZ Certified

Good Origin is 100% UTZ CERTIFIED. UTZ CERTIFIED is a global non governmental organisation which operates a mainstream certification programme for sustainable coffee based on pillars of economic, social and environmental well being.

Together with UTZ CERTIFIED, we are helping farmers look after their workers, their families and the environment in which they live and work. UTZ CERTIFIED certification assures that:

• Workers and their families have access to healthcare, clean water and decent housing
• Children have access to schooling
• Fertilisers and agrochemicals are used minimally and controlled
• Workers are trained and their labour rights are protected
• The use of water and energy is minimised
• Environmental pollution is reduced

UTZ CERTIFIED certification is renewed annually so you can be sure that it is up to date and continues to adhere to the UTZ CERTIFIED Code of Conduct - a set of criteria for responsible coffee growing practices and efficient farm management.

The UTZ CERTIFIED certification does not dictate or guarantee coffee prices, rather it enables farmers to achieve a better price for their coffee themselves and gain more competitiveness in their market.

By purchasing Good Origin™ Good Origin, you are contributing to the further success of the UTZ CERTIFIED programme and helping us to improve the coffee trade responsibly.
