Sustaain strengthens its partnership with Volcafe to accelerate traceability and compliance in coffee supply chains

Sustaain, a data and artificial intelligence platform dedicated to improving data for sustainable supply chains in soft commodities, has announced the expansion of its partnership with Volcafe, one of the world’s leading green coffee merchants.

Following a year of collaboration focused on optimising data flows, Sustaain and Volcafe have entered a new phase with the signing of a multi-year agreement. This partnership will address structural priorities such as data quality, integration, and consolidation to enhance reporting, transparency, and traceability across the coffee supply chain. These efforts aim to establish robust foundations for long-term sustainability and traceability systems at scale.

By investing in advanced data strategies, Volcafe is reinforcing its commitment to operational excellence and compliance, in a sector in which interoperability is often rare.

“Strengthening our collaboration with Sustaain helps reinforce the practical foundations of reporting, transparency and traceability across our supply chains. By consolidating and standardising operational data, we’re improving the reliability of the information our teams use day to day and for reporting – ensuring that our roaster partners can access clear, credible data to support their own sustainability commitments.”

 

Clément Collignon, CEO of Sustaain

We are delighted to support their teams in deploying robust data-management tools rooted in the operational realities of tropical commodity supply chains.”
