What stages of the coffee journey are included in the CO2 emissions calculation?
Our calculations cover up to 5 key stages in the coffee supply chain:
Coffee Production: Farm-level emissions at origin.
Origin Inland Transport: Road transport from farm to origin port.
Ocean Freight: Shipping from origin port to destination port.
Warehousing: Storage at the destination warehouse (calculated using a standard 6-month average*).
Final Delivery: Road transport from the warehouse to your roastery.
Scope Adjustments by Order
Type:
Doorstep Delivery (DDP): Bypasses warehouse storage, so warehousing emissions are excluded.
FOB Purchases: Includes production, origin transport, and ocean freight. Warehousing and final destination transport are excluded since you manage onward logistics.
Note: Warehousing accounts for a negligible fraction of overall emissions, so variations in actual storage time do not materially alter the final calculation.
