Within the Common Code for the Coffee Community Association (4C), producers, trade & industry and
civil society from around the world work together for more sustainability in the entire coffee sector.
This global community has joined forces to continuously improve the social, environmental and economic
conditions for the people making their living with coffee.
Main pillars of 4C are a code of conduct,
participation rules for trade & industry,
support mechanisms for coffee farmers,
a verification system and the
participatory governance structure.
