HIGHLIGHTS | 2022

Reconnecting with our global and local partners

You might think that the Dominican forests are lush. However, the reality is that the country is facing severe deforestation to clear land for agricultural purposes. At the beginning of 2022, SEABRIDGE planted 900 native (cacao) trees in the Dominican Republic to help restore the Northern Ecological Mountain Corridor. This was a collab with Zorzal Cacao and SILVA CACAO.

SEABRIDGE / PORT OF ANTWERP-BRUGES COLLAB

Port of Antwerp-Bruges is working towards a cleaner living environment by, among other things, reducing litter and the plastic soup. The 41 participating port companies - accounting for 2,263 participants - cleaned up several tons of litter.

In 2022, the Port of Antwerp-Bruges organized a ‘Cleanup’ competition. The team with the most original photo of the clean-up campaign had a chance to win the coveted Clean-up Price.

SEABRIDGE ’s ‘One for all and all for #PortCleanUp!’ team photo was declared the winner. Our colleagues from Zeebrugge received the trophy from Bruges mayor of Bruges, Mr. Dirk De fauw.

SEABRIDGE & EFICO COLLAB

In November 2022, the two well-known training courses that SEABRIDGE organises in collaboration with the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI), took place: the ‘Calibration Course for Certified Q Arabica Graders’ and the ‘Q Arabica Training & Exam Course’. SEABRIDGE and EFICO hosted dozens of students at SEABRIDGE’s SCA-certified training campus. The participants were trained by the CQI instructor, assisted by the EFICO/SEABRIDGE expert quality team. It was again very inspiring to be able to guide and experience so much coffee passion and knowledge.
