Growing Together to Create a Better Future

Everyday billions of cups of coffee and tea are enjoyed across the globe. Our belief is that together, through the power of our brands, we can unite our actions to deliver impactful change and be a ‘force for better’. The JDE Peet’s Common Grounds programme embodies our ambition to positively impact people, our planet, and the future of coffee and tea.

Striving Together on Common Grounds

At JDE Peet’s we are acting intentionally to ensure every cup contributes to a better future. From farmers to consumers, we are championing an inclusive and regenerative ecosystem fuelled by our love for coffee and tea.
