Sustainable Coffee Program Identity Manual Version 1.0 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; May 2014

0 Introduction

Whether we manage it actively and invest in it, or let it evolve organically over time, the SCP brand exists, here and in the field. From the SCP brand, partners draw conclusions based on their experiences, donors choose whether to invest in our work depending on their perception of how strong it is, our staff and implementing partners determine how motivated they are to align with the values and mission depending if it resonates with their own. Our brand is important and its up to us to help everyone define and nurture it. It is ours to grow, shape, share and live. The strongest brands, capitalize on an organizations strengths and unique attributes, and leverage these qualities in every business decision. This is also true for the SCP. A clear brand book is a tool to help us stay focused. It keeps us on mission, on message, and it helps us do our work every day. In this guide you'll find all the tools necessary to do just that. It is designed to help you understand and build on the SCP brand, keeping it relevant and vibrant in the

context you experience it. The more we do to protect and consistently communicate our brand, the more it will help us reach our business goals and fulfill our mission. Externally, our brand platform communicates who we are and what sets us a part. Internally, it gives us a common source of inspiration and guidance to move farther, faster and more skillfully toward shared goals. This brand guide is designed to give all those engaged with the SCP brand a consistent set of tools with which to do our work. It provides a shared language that unites us around common goals and objectives. However, the brand guide is not a "rule book" - at least not in the traditional sense of the term. It should not remain static and fixed. It does not contain all the answers to every question. Think of it instead as a living, breathing, work in progress - like a road map or set of guidelines that can shift and evolve incrementally over time as the terrain changes. The world in which we work is not constant; our brand should not be either. Sustainable Coffee Program Identity Manual

1.1 Our Visual Brand

The SCP logo explained Our logo represents elements of our mission and the sector in which we operate. It is a vital element serving to provide visibility for the SCP around the globe. It provides brand recognition and stands for the quality and importance of our activities. The color of the logo is the emotive brown of the coffee we all love. The various letters of the SC and P are inspired by the shape of abstracted coffee beans. The letters are loosely placed together to evoke transparency and connote the various supply chain actors coming together in partnership. The logo was designed to evoke emotions that represent our brand attributions; positive, energetic, complex, collaboration, networking, dynamic, simple, clear, positive and modern. As the brand is still young and growing in recognition, the logo mark with just the letters SCP is not enough to help the viewer understand the context. Therefore, please use a version of the logo with the full name â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sustainable Coffee Programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; written out below. Eventually the brand may become strong enough to go without the full name, for now it helps us position our initiative. Sustainable Coffee Program Identity Manual

1.2 Logo Versions and Sizes

Two versions of the logo are available depending on how it will be used. The first and preferred logo is called the standing logo. We have used this logo in all of our designs. However, in some cases the standing logo might not fit well within the given margins. In these cases the lying logo is a possibility. The lying logo has the full name of the program written out to the right side.

1.3 Color options for the logo

Ideally the logo would be used in coffee brown, but we understand that in some cases this color is not ideal. Therefore we designed some other color options. The logo is also ok if used in black or red on white. If the logo needs to appear on a background, solid black with white letters is prefered.

Brown PMS 168

100% black or PMS black

Diapositive 100% white

Alternative color Red PMS 485

1.4 How NOT to use the logo

Its important to use our logo consistently. This helps establish brand recognition and a visually strong language in the field. Points to keep in mind: • The logo may not rotated, distorted or modified • The different shapes may not be independently scaled, rotated or shifted in the logo • The logo must stay in the primary brand colors, including the text below • The logo can not be placed over a photo or busy pattern • The logo should not be reversed • If using a colored version of the logo make sure its on a white background • On dark backgrounds use the white logo, preferably with black as the background color

Sustainable Coffee Program Identity Manual

1.5 Logo Versions and Sizes

Various sizes of the logo may be used, depending on the constraints of the material. Here you can see examples of the different logo sizes that are used in templates. Always make sure that the name of the program in the text under the letter marks is visible. This means the logo should not be printed smaller than 2 cm wide.

1.7 Logo files

Logo files Our logo is provided in different variations and file formats. Please use this page to refer to when selecting a file that is appropriate in your project. Each logo file follows the following naming convention: prefix_ title-option_color-option_ color-mode.file-type For example: scp_laying_color_rgb.jpg Prefix scp= indicates an SCPlogo file. Title Option notitle = logo without the title “Sustainable Coffee Program.” For use when the logo is smaller than 1.375” in print or 225px on web. (Minimum size is .5cm” or 175px.) laytitle = logo with the title horizontally. Preferred version, for use when the logo is greater than or equal to 1.5cm

in print or 225px on web. (Standard size is 4 cm.) standtitle= logo with the title stacked vertically. Preferred version, for use when the logo is greater than or equal to 2 cm in print or 225px on web. (Standard size is 4 cm.) Color Option color = preferred version, for use on white or neutral backgrounds. grayscale = black-tint version, for single-color application on uncluttered backgrounds. white = reversed out version, for use on dark backgrounds. Color Mode cmyk = four-color process (cyan, magenta, yellow, black). For use in in-office print projects and some commercial printing projects when Pantone is unavailable.

pantone = set of standardized printing colors, each specified by a single number (our logo color is Pantone 168). For use in commercial print projects, such as business cards, signs and shirts. rgb = screen palette (red, blue, green). For use in on-screen and online projects, such as PowerPoint, email, web and social media. File Type .eps = vector graphic file. For use in page layout programs (Adobe InDesign, MS Publisher, etc) and all commercial printprojects. .jpg = raster graphic file. For use in onscreen projects when requested by program/application. .png = raster graphic file with transparent background. For use in all in-office print projects and most on-screen projects (PNG is preferable to JPG because there is no loss of detail when compressed). Sustainable Coffee Program Identity Manual

1.8 Logo proportions in word documents

When placing the logo in the header or footer of word documents, we have recommended sizes to keep the logo legible. In the header of A4 documents, please use the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lying logoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or the logo with the program name written out to the right side next to the SCP. If the logo is going to be added to the footer, use the version without the title written out next to it. If the logo is going to be added to the footer, use the version without a title.

1.9 Brand Colors

Brand Colors The colors that we use to communicate our brand should be consistent, to help create a visual language and convey strength in our initiatives. They have been chosen for their energy, simplicity and reference to coffee. Primary Palette The primary colors in the pallet are brown, red and black. These are the colors in which our logo can appear (other than black and white). They are the dominant colors that should be used as much as possible to keep the designs clean and simple. Secondary Palette A strong, bright secondary palette is also available when developing graphs and tables. Always use the blue color first and only use the green when the

blue has already been applied in the same illustration. Tertiary Palette A paler color palette is also available to use in complex graphs, texts, or designs when the primary and secondary colors have already been used. Colors should always be placed on a white background without overlapping and no mixing.

1.11 Photography

When choosing images for the materials you create, try to use photos that represent the country and illustrate the text. For example if the material is about Vietnam use photos of farmers or coffee plants in Vietnam. If the material is for use on an international level than photos of farmers and beans from any country are possible. We have developed a database of photography, on Flickr, that is available for your use and we request that you add to the collection and help it grow by taking pictures in the field. Follow this link to the photo site: www.flickr.com/photos/119346666@N08/#

Sustainable Coffee Program Identity Manual

1.12 Image Treatment

When adding images to materials make sure that if there is a farmer in the picture they are clearly visible. Do not crop their head and try not to crop their body. Keep them as centered as possible in the shape. Try to use images of both plants and farmers and keep a good ratio of the two.

January 2014 quality, farmer poverty, lack of access to finance and climate change. The sector recognizes the need to move beyond its earlier competitive and certification driven efforts, and towards a much more systemic and institutionalized, pre-competitively collaborative, impact-oriented approach, to make the coffee sectors in the key producing countries more sustainable.

Logo, lines and photo containers are fixed You can only change the photos and texts

The Sustainable Coffee Program (SCP) targets mainstream up-scaling of sustainable coffee production and acts as a global convener of stakeholders. By supporting the creation of national sector strategies in focus countries and stimulating impact-oriented field-level projects, the SCP creates global synergies that bring sustainability in coffee to a mainstream level, creating scale advantages that will increase cost efficiency and impact.

Program outline and objective The Sustainable Coffee Program brings together key players in the coffee industry, including traders and exporters, (local) governments, NGOs and standard setting bodies. Through the program, over 4 million producing families will be reached. Such scope calls for overarching, holistic and innovative strategies that go beyond certification. These include: · · ·

post-harvest handling, processing, increased productivity Certification standard collaboration; creating cost efficiency and transparency

National strategies The program will also meet national sector needs by linking to existing institutions and structures, ensuring that results translate into national programs that are tailored to the needs of national stakeholders. Strategies are designed on a national level, but critically, are geared towards the global market. In 2012, the Sustainable Coffee Program started implementing national strategies in four countries: Brazil, Ethiopia, Uganda and Vietnam.

Climate change; adaptation to and resilience against Farmer access to finance; investment capital and guarantee schemes Good agricultural practices; growing, harvesting,

Jenny Kwan Program Manager coffee@idhsustainabletrade.com www.sustainablecoffeeprogram.com

In the sector Over the last years, global coffee consumption has grown particularly in emerging markets. At the same time, production has suffered from under-investment, poor production practices and adverse climatic conditions. As a result, production has remained below demand. At the same time leading coffee roasters and national coffee associations have made serious commitments to increasing sustainable coffee sourcing. Theory of change Due to unsustainable production practices, low yields and quality and lack of access to finance, millions of coffee farmer live in poverty and are not resilient to

Overall objective 25% of worldwide coffee sales sustainable in 2016 Main sustainability issues targeted Productivity, quality, farmer organization, access to finance, effectiveness of extension services, climate adaptation, involvement of women & youth, income diversification and livelihood of farmers

The 3rd Coffee Sustainable Forum Press Release Ho Chi Minh City, 4 December 2013 “Sustainable Coffee Production through Public-Private Cooperation in Vietnam: Current Status and Future Outlook” The forum was jointly organized by the Coffee Coordinating Board of the Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development (MARD) in collaboration with SNV Netherlands Development Organisation, 4C Association and powered by IDH (the Sustainable Coffee Program). The event attracted 154 delegates from a broad spectrum, including: ministries, the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association, research institutes, national & international coffee companies, NGOs, standards organizations, but importantly also auditors and local farmers. In his opening speech, Mr. Pham Dong Quang, Deputy Director of Department of Crop Production, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Deputy Director of Vietnam Coffee Sector Coordinating Board, remarked: “To date, Vietnam’s coffee sector has made outstanding progress. However, it faces many sustainability challenges. These include “hot” development of cultivation area, exhausted soil, abuse of fertilizer, inefficient water use which leads to exhausted water sources in the context of the global climate change, quality and food safety control, outdated technologies, adding value to export products, and particularly benefit sharing mechanism between coffee farmers and companies to ensure long-term business relationships”.

Discussions centered around how to better connect coffee farmers, domestic enterprises and international actors, as well as how to develop action plans for addressing outstanding sustainability issues including gender and youth inclusion. The forum also reviewed the progress that has been made in sustainable coffee sector since the last meeting in December 2012.“This forum is a great occasion for us to review initial results achieved in sustainable coffee development in Vietnam, and to jointly identify challenges and bottlenecks that need to be addressed to ensure that Vietnam’s coffee sector fully capitalizes on its potential and advantages.”, Mr. Quang added. Group discussions focused on key sustainability issues in the coffee sector, including: chemical use management; water use management; farmer group formation and organization; access to services such as credit, agricultural extension services and training. The participants worked together on identifying the causes of these issues and suggested solutions to address them. The outcomes of the forum provide useful inputs for refinement and completion of the Vietnamese National Master Plan for Coffee Sustainable Development of Vietnam.

2.2.2 Glossy Pages

Example pages

Vietnam remains the world’s most competitive coffee producer with the lowest global cost of production and an extremely efficient supply chain. Virtually all of Vietnam’s coffee is produced by smallholder farmers. More than 25% of Vietnam’s production is verified or certified “sustainable”. This has been achieved in a relatively short period of time as a result of exporters focusing on high-producing farmers. Most of Vietnam’s production should be verified or certified by 2016 as a result of competition for market share; we expect these same competitive forces to drive down the incremental cost of verification paid by the industry. This process will bring the entire sector to a documented, baseline compliance quickly and cheaply, but is unlikely to address Vietnam’s most pressing sustainability challenges: excessive agro-chemical use and scarce water resources. There are incentives for farmers, government and the coffee industry to address these challenges and safeguard coffee farmers’ livelihoods, long-term coffee supply, and environmental assets for future generations. However, “business as usual” is unlikely to unlock these actions. A catalyst will be required.

Context

Economics of Coffee Production in Vietnam

Global demand for sustainable coffee is rising Under the IDH umbrella, major coffee roasters have set a goal of increasing global sustainable coffee sales from 8% to 25% by 2015. This ambitious target can only be met through coordinated effort on the part of stakeholders and targeted investments at different stages in the supply chain.

A smallholder crop Coffee provides a livelihood for half a million Vietnamese smallholder farmers. 95% of Vietnam’s coffee is grown on small family farms of approximately one hectare.

Not all countries and producers will be able to meet this demand Many of the world’s coffee farmers will find it challenging to be verified or certified. These challenges vary by country and type of producer. In some cases, rising costs of production make it hard to absorb the additional cost of sustainability certification or verification relative to the economic benefits. In other situations, farmers are not of sufficient scale or are not aggregated in such a way that the economics can be justified. Vietnam, however, is well positioned Vietnam remains the world’s most competitive coffee producer with a cost of production significantly below the nearest origin (see Exhibit 1). This cost advantage also applies to the incremental costs of certifying or verifying sustainability, which are lower on average in Vietnam than in other countries. Vietnam’s coffee supply chain has several features that overcome the challenges of aggregation faced in other coffee origins. First, while farmers are not formally organized into aggregated units (e.g., cooperatives), exporters are able to leverage their relationship with collectors and aggregators to form large group schemes. Second, despite farm sizes being relatively small (one hectare on average), yields are the highest in the world. The relatively low cost of aggregating farmers through group schemes and the relatively high volume per farmer makes verification more cost-effective in Vietnam than in other countries (see Exhibit 2).

Vietnam is the world’s lowest cost coffee producer

Brazil (Arabica)

1.40 1.20

Lower labor and input costs With the exception of harvesting, smallholders are able to keep cash labor costs to a minimum using their own labor to maintain the family plot. Nitrogen-based fertilizer, farmers’ largest single cash cost, is also cheaper than in other countries. These factors give Vietnam a lower production cost compared to other producing nations such as Brazil, where farms are larger and require more hired labor and fixed capital assets (see Exhibit 3).

1.00

The highest yields in the world Vietnamese farmers enjoy coffee yields significantly higher than other coffee producers around the globe (see Exhibit 4). Irrigation and access to agro-inputs have played a critical role in Vietnam’s ability to consistently achieve high yields. Nearly all smallholder farmers construct their own wells and pump water for irrigation. Agro-inputs are accessible and widely utilized. Higher yields translate into a significant cost advantage.

0.00

An enabling environment that promotes efficiency The enabling environment in Vietnam’s coffee sector promotes efficiency, reduces waste, and lowers costs. Farmers have access to land rights that permit land to be bought, sold, and used as collateral for loans. Gradual reforms transferred roles in the coffee industry from the state to the private sector. Strong private sector competition combined with few taxes, levies, quotas or production controls has led to an extremely efficient industry where intermediary costs are low and coffee farmers receive more than 90% of the export price.

Key opportunities Reducing verification/certification costs • Aligning standards, enabling farmers who meet Brazilian standards to also obtain international recognition. • Identifying ways to lower costs of audits and ongoing monitoring (e.g., from $150 to $35 for a one-day audit). • Creating options so farmers can receive individual certificates more easily, or through innovative private sector aggregation models. (beyond cooperatives)

A business case for sustainable coffee production

Increasing farm profitability • Boosting yield, potentially from 50-70%, through improved agriculture. • Introducing technology that can bring efficiency gains in harvesting, processing and other farm activities. • Lowering overall production costs, giving farmers a greater margin to invest in more sustainable practices. West Sao Paulo & Panama (medium farms) 3.1 m. bags

The world’s largest coffee producer Brazil has long been the world’s largest coffee producer, with a current market share of close to 40%. The majority of Brazil’s production is Arabica, although the Conillon (Robusta) segment is growing rapidly primarily to serve the domestic market (set to become the world’s largest in the near future). A key issue in Brazil is rising production costs, which affects different farmers in different ways. The majority of Brazil’s 274,000 farms are under 10 hectares and family-owned and managed. These farmers are less impacted by rising labor costs because they rely heavily on family labor. Larger farms control labor costs via technology (e.g., self-propelled mechanical harvesters). Medium-sized farms are in a unique predicamentwheretheyaretoolargetogetbyonfamilylabor, but too small to afford significant capital investments. Brazil has a highly efficient supply chain that does not depend upon farmer aggregation. Although there are several large cooperatives, most farmers sell their coffee independently and are free to move their business fluidly among exporters. This flexibility contributes to high levels of efficiency and liquidity in the sector, but discourages the private sector from providing long-term training and verification / certification to farmers. Emerging sustainability trends Although Brazil is currently among the leading exporters of verified / certified coffees, future growth may be constrained by two bottlenecks. Standards: Brazil has rigorous laws that go beyond the minimum criteria of most international standards. It is often hard for smaller farmers to make the investments needed to meet these national laws. As most international standards will defer to a higher national law, farms that do not comply with local laws cannot be verified/certified. Economics: Verification / certification is economically viable for large farms and cooperatives. However, the cost is currently prohibitive for smaller farms to pursue verification / certification independently. Group schemes could reduce cost, but farmers would need to sacrifice flexibility to shift between exporters and other aggregators.

Sul de Minas & Mogiana (small farms) 8.8 m. bags Zona de Mata & Esoirito Santo (small farms) 9.7 m. bags

Espirito Santo (small farms, Conillon) 7.0 m. bags

Robusta Arabica

Rising costs have reduced Brazil’s cost advantage.

A strategy for co-investing in sustainability Brazil could increase production by 27 million bags and coffee revenues by $4.4 billion* through a focused program to help smaller farmers boost yield, reduce costs, and comply with sustainability standards. Over 10 years, this represents a 4.5% annualized growth rate, versus actual growth of 5.0% over the past 10 years. While there is a business case for farmers to make these investments on their own, growth can be accelerated by strategic investment fromthe public and private sectors. These investments include supporting efforts to harmonize standards and increase individual farmers’ access to verification / certification, as well as innovations in farmer training that can collapse the cost per farmer. In addition, increased demand from the local market for sustainable coffees could strengthen the business case for farmers. Brazil already has strong state and national programs for reaching farmers, including the individualized extension support provided by Certifica Minas and the group training mechanisms offered by SENAR. However, there are likely opportunities to expand outreach and effectiveness of training. The Sustainable Coffee Program offers a collaborative framework to assist implementation and is open to co-invest with likeminded public and private partners in projects that demonstrate innovation or high potential for scaling.

SCP Vietnam - After one year of operation The Sustainable Coffee Program (SCP) has been established as a publicprivate cooperation involving the coffee industry, trade and export partners, governments, NGOs and standard setting organizations. The objective of the Sustainable Coffee Program is to increase global sustainable green coffee sales from 8% in 2010 to 25% by the end of 2015 in a pre-competitive manner and make coffee farmers more resilient in an ever-changing market, especially in the context of global climate change and higher social disparities between rural people involved in agricultural production and others. Being the largest producer of Robusta coffee, accounting for almost 15% of global coffee production, Vietnam is consequently one of the focus countries of the SCP. The SCP Vietnam was launched in a workshop in Hochiminh City on 17 September 2012, followed by a workshop and field visit to Dak Lak province which involved the participation of a wide range of coffee stakeholders including representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of coffee producing provinces, association, coffee processing, trading and roasting companies, and coffee producers.

The 3rd Coffee Sustainable Forum in Vietnam Press Release Ho Chi Minh City, 4 December 2013 “Sustainable Coffee Production through Public-Private Cooperation in Vietnam: Current Status and Future Outlook” The forum was jointly organized by the Coffee Coordinating Board of the Ministry of Agriculture & Rural Development (MARD) in collaboration with SNV Netherlands Development Organisation, 4C Association and powered by IDH (the Sustainable Coffee Program). The event attracted 154 delegates from a broad spectrum, including: ministries, the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association, research institutes, national & international coffee companies, NGOs, standards organizations, but importantly also auditors and local farmers. In his opening speech, Mr. Pham Dong Quang, Deputy Director of Department of Crop Production, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Deputy Director of Vietnam Coffee Sector Coordinating Board, remarked: “To date, Vietnam’s coffee sector has made outstanding progress. However, it faces many sustainability challenges. These include “hot” development of cultivation area, exhausted soil, abuse of fertilizer, inefficient water use which leads to exhausted water sources in the context of the global climate change, quality and food safety control, outdated technologies, adding value to export products, and particularly benefit sharing mechanism between coffee farmers and companies to ensure long-term business relationships”.
