ARAMARK On...Coffee
Background:
Coffee remains one of America’s favorite beverages. Increasingly, consumers are inquiring about the origins of the coffee they drink: How it’s grown, who grows it, and how coffee farming is impacting the environment.
Several coffees now offer different labels, including:
- Organic: Growing practices emphasize the avoidance of synthetic chemicals, including synthetic herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers.
- Shade Grown: The coffee plants are grown under a natural canopy of trees and foliage, which also provide homes for resident and migratory birds.
- Fair Trade: Coffee is purchased from farmers at a fair and reasonable price, which in turn promotes higher living standards, thriving communities and more sustainable farming practices.

coffee options that meet their varying tastes and preferences. The company’s selection of coffees includes a wide range of brands and options, including coffees certified as Organic, Shade Grown and Fair Trade from providers such as
