Enveritas is a non-profit organization that provides sustainability assurance for the coffee and cocoa industries, with a mission to end global poverty in the coffee sector by 2030.

Here's a concise summary of what they do:

• 
  

  What they do: Enveritas conducts field assessments on over 100,000 smallholder farms annually across 31+ countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America to evaluate social, environmental, and economic practices.

  
  


• 
  

  Who pays: The costs of these sustainability assessments are covered by coffee roasters and chocolate companies, not by the farmers, which enables greater inclusivity for smallholder farmers.

  
  


• 
  

  How their verification works: Companies receive a responsible sourcing claim if they:

  
  
  
  
  
  1. 
     

     Verify their purchases and supply chain traceability.

     
     
  
  
  2. 
     

     Undergo annual sustainability assessments.

     
     
  
  
  3. 
     

     Invest in continuous improvement efforts proportionally.
