Each and every coffee bean undergoes a transformation
as it travels through various processes from country of origin to cup.
Because the process of creating a cup of coffee is fraught with global challenges ranging
from climate change to environmental conservation and human rights,
it has even been called “a study of the Sustainable Development Goals in miniature”.
The UCC group is using these challenges as an opportunity to educate people and get them to think more about sustainability.
As a leader in the coffee industry, the UCC Group has been investing in next-generation educational programs
and will continue to foster dialogue with individuals and communities in the hopes that
delicious coffee will continue to be enjoyed generation after generation.
CHAPTER 01Online Seminars
