The Löfberg Family Foundation initiates a multiannual collaboration with the Help to Help foundation. The support makes it possible for young people in Tanzania and Uganda, who otherwise would not have had the opportunity to carry out higher education, to qualify for vital societal professions like agronomists, economists, engineers, or doctors.
Sweden is one of the world’s most coffee-consuming countries. Hot coffee is dominating, but the interest for cold coffee is growing, especially among young people. This according to a new survey conducted on behalf of Löfbergs. 36 per cent of all coffee-drinking Swedes aged 18 to 29 have consumed ice coffee in the past month. It means that ice coffee is more popular than both cappuccino and latte.
Rami Kuusisto becomes the new Managing Director of Löfbergs in Finland. On 1 September, he succeeds Kent Pettersson, who continues in the role of Chief Commercial Officer Market East at Löfbergs.
The world of Löfbergs revolves round coffee. The great taste of course, but also the genuine interest and the knowledge that we have built since 1906. But that is not worth anything if we do not take care of each other and our planet. Which is why sustainability is and always has been important to us.
The new sustainability report of Löfbergs for the prolonged financial year from July 2022 to December 2023 shows that the family-owned coffee roaster continues to make progress in the sustainability area. The company also presents a new framework for sustainable development, where the goal is to reduce emissions in the entire value chain (Scope 3) with 30% by 2030.
Maritime freight is a smart alternative to air freight, but often goes under the radar when companies map their Scope 3 emissions. The purchased goods often generate the most emissions, while the emissions of the freight, are proportionately low. But it is still good and important that there now are solutions to make maritime freights fossil-free. It is smart to pick a low-hanging first.
The Swedish-based coffee company Löfbergs is now taking a new important step to reduce its carbon footprint. By cooperating with the logistics company Scanlog, the family-owned coffee company secures 100 per cent fossil-free sea transport – a measure that reduces the CO2 emissions with 1,800 metric tons.
The Swedish based coffee group Löfbergs is a Family Business founded in 1906. We are more than 300 coffee lovers operating in ten core markets in Europe, sharing the passion for taste, trends and sustainability. We produce 12 million cups of coffee per day and is one of the world's largest purchasers of organic and Fairtrade-labeled coffee. The group includes the brands Löfbergs, Peter Larsen Kaffe and Kobbs.
