About this report
In this report, which we present on a voluntary basis, we express our intention to keep and expand dialogues with our stakeholders on sustainable management.
This important step for Buencafé is an evolutionary process that enriches the experience of our entire human team to increasingly better harmonize our work with sustainability.
To define the contents of the 2021 report (henceforth to be presented every year), the communications area proposed to the Group of Directors the topics to be addressed based on results of the materiality workshops held with the different stakeholders, and the topics addressed in the sustainability committee.
They will be assessed and approved by the General Director’s Office. The material topics defined are in line with the organization’s sustainability model, which has the coffee grower at the center. GRI 102-32, GRI 102-46, GRI 102-50 and GRI 102-52.
The following graph shows the result of the teamwork that organized the material topics according to the capacity of response and impact on the corporate strategy.
This report is prepared in accordance with the 'GRI: core option' standards. GRI 102-54

List of stakeholders
Engagement of our
stakeholders
With this information and with a consulting company specialized in sustainable development processes, there were dialogues with our different stakeholders for building the materiality matrix to have a closer comprehension of their concerns, needs and expectations.
This continued support resulted in a report that analyzes the beliefs, opinions and feelings of our different stakeholders.
The Communications and Reputation area shared the information with the Group of Directors to work on prioritization under the methodology suggested by the external firm and undertake an action plan that addresses the prioritized material topics. GRI 102-43.
Materiality
The materiality workshops held in 2021 were a very important tool to learn first-hand the stakeholders’ vision on the economic, environmental and social aspects of Buencafé.
