Coffee
[change | change source]Lavazza imports coffee from around the world, including Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Honduras, Uganda, Indonesia, United States and Mexico. Sustainable production concerns have led the company to develop the ¡Tierra! project, a sustainable agriculture program in Honduras, Colombia and Peru, that seeks to improve the quality of coffee as well as the environmental and working conditions of those communities.[3]
Sponsorship
[change | change source]Lavazza became a sponsor of Liverpool F.C. in 2018,[4] and the Williams Racing team in the 2020 Formula One season.[5][6] Also through the agreement reached in September 2020, Lavazza became the official coffee brand used by Juventus F.C.
Calendar
