CoopeTarrazú has received the Sustainability Award from Auto Mercado during the supermarket chain’s 65th anniversary event, which brought together its main business partners.
The award highlights CoopeTarrazú’s ongoing commitment to sustainable development and its efforts to create a positive impact on society and the environment. A key factor in earning this recognition was the partnership for marketing Baulas Blend coffee, a product available at Auto Mercado stores nationwide.
Through this initiative, significant donations have been made to The Leatherback Trust, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the leatherback turtle, an endangered species.
In 2024, this relationship was strengthened with the launch of a biodiversity monitoring project at CoopeTarrazú’s coffee estate. The collaboration aims to assess biological diversity on the farm and promote agricultural practices that are compatible with natural surroundings.
“When they see what we do with our coffee, Casas de la Alegría, what we do with composting, treatment of honey waters, sustainable practices, they point out that we are at the forefront,” said Carlos Olivares, Finished Product Manager at CoopeTarrazú.
The award is seen as a shared achievement and underscores the importance of strategic partnerships in reaching common goals.
