Each year, aligned with our Sustainable Coffee Agenda, an ad hoc SCA Sustainability Committee reviews dozens of applications from around the globe. The deadline to submit an application is 31 January 2024. The 2024 Sustainability Awards will recognise for-profit and non-profit organisations that advance sustainability in the coffee sector while inspiring others to design and initiate similar endeavors innovations.
Nominations for each category below can be submitted at sca.coffee/sustainabilityawards.
Sustainability Award: For-Profit
This award recognises the role that for-profit companies play in the sustainability of the coffee sector. Please note that this award is for businesses that have been operating for at least three years. Products, projects, and ideas do not qualify for the award.
Sustainability Award: Non-Profit

A note on the previous category of the Individual Award: The SCA is reevaluating how to best identify and celebrate individuals from across the value chain who have contributed to advancing sustainability in the coffee industry and will pause the Individual Award until further notice.
