Challenges for the Future
Sustainability
Thinking about the future requires actions in the present time.
With new challenges for the future of coffee growers in Brazil, we are increasingly aware of all links in Brazilian coffee supply chain movements, in order to ensure the maintenance of the coffee chain for generations.
Futuro das Gerações
Ações Sociais
Part of Atlantica Coffee’s profits is reverted to Instituto Café Solidário, a project focused on the social and cultural development of children, adolescents and the elderly. Currently, the project contributes to improving the social and cultural conditions of 195 people:
• 154 children and adolescents in Buritizeiro, MG, Brazil
• 26 elderly people in Santa Luzia, Minas Gerais
• 15 local teachers
• 324 meals served daily

Matas e Nascentes
Projeto Mútua
The Mutua Project was a pioneering initiative by Atlântica, aimed at promoting sustainable practices on coffee farms in the Matas de Minas region. Through concrete actions, the project directly benefited 25 producers, with the planting of more than 15,000 native seedlings and the recovery of 30 springs. More than transforming the participating farms, Mutua left a lasting legacy for the entire local community, strengthening environmental preservation, quality of life and the resilience of the territory. An example of how caring for coffee can go hand in hand with caring for the land and people.
Meio Ambiente
Clean Energy
A photovoltaic mill project at Atlantica’s warehouse in Caparaó corroborates our mission to “originate consistently and promote improvements throughout the coffee chain”.
The project objective was to produce a clean and renewable energy matrix to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and strengthen our commitment to be sustainable and in continuous improvement.
