Fair Trade
Spot On values partners who are also into fair trade, where everyone gets a fair deal. For us, the best part is seeing exactly where the money from coffee sales ends up. The most gratifying aspect is to watch how it makes life better for people. We make sure that fair trade really does something good, making positive changes. Our focus is on making sure people have good jobs and better education, and that coffee workers are treated with respect. our focus is on promoting fairness, and making trade just and open. We are all about keeping things open and making a positive impact. Whenever we can, we visit Fair Trade coffee producers or communities. We listen to their needs and thoughts about how the program is going, and what improvements we can make. We believe in working together to make things better!
Neighbors and Friends Program
Spot On is a proud partner of the Falcafé Neighbors and Friends Program. Our mission is to disseminate knowledge in the production and technology of specialty coffees to neighbors and friends, with a focus on smallholders and women producers. We aim to increase the production of specialty coffees throughout an important coffee region in Brazil: the Mogiana region of Espírito Santo do Pinhal, in São Paulo, and in and around Ouro Fino, in Minas Gerais. Our focus is on encouraging quality and the production of specialty coffees by combining good varieties, the exclusive terroir of the region, and the correct handling and processing of coffee to obtain a product of excellence. To achieve these goals, the Neighbors and Friends Program holds field days with specific training sessions focused on specialty coffees in partnership with two important institutions in Brazil: SEBRAE AND SENAR, which promote training for small and mid-sized producers. We also organize an annual quality competition, where coffees are recognized in a special event that encourages interaction among participants and provides an opportunity to share ideas and collaborate on adjustments for the future.
