4C (The Common Code for the Coffee Community) is an independent, stakeholder-driven, internationally recognized sustainability standard for the entire coffee sector, aiming at anchoring sustainability in coffee supply chains. Independent third-party audits ensure compliance with sustainability criteria for coffee production and processing from the economic, social, and environmental dimensions to establish credible and traceable sustainable coffee supply chains. 4C’s sustainability principles and criteria are set out in the 4C Code of Conduct, which was developed in a comprehensive and transparent multi-stakeholder process. The focus of the 4C Code of Conduct is sustainable production of coffee green bean and its post-harvest activities.
