Well-known coffee and donut franchise Dunkin&rsquo; Donuts announced that it has signed on to The Sustainable Coffee Challenge, according to an article in <a href="https://www.qsrmagazine.com/news/dunkin-joins-sustainable-coffee-challenge?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=challenge-accepted-dunkin-donuts-moves-toward-sustainable-coffee-2708637" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" style="text-decoration-line:none" target="_blank">QSR magazine</a>. The brand joins other companies, governments, NGOs, research institutions and more as part of a collaborative global effort that aims to transform the coffee industry into a more sustainable enterprise, all backed by backed by nonprofit environmental organization Conservation International.

By signing, Dunkin&rsquo; commits to &ldquo;work[ing] to find solutions for the coffee community while stimulating the need for sustainable coffee,&rdquo; according to the article. This is not the only sustainability-focused initiative Dunkin has undertaken: according to QSR, the coffee chain also recently announced plans to work with World Coffee Research via combined efforts through the National DCP, &ldquo;the Dunkin&rsquo; franchisee-owned supply chain management cooperative.&rdquo; Forthcoming initiatives include the plan to donate &ldquo;a percentage of sales from every pound of Original Blend coffee beans&rdquo; sold in Dunkin&rsquo; restaurants over the course of five years to World Coffee Research, the article says, which &ldquo;could amount to&rdquo; a cool $2 million in donations over the course of the agreement. 

This contribution would &ldquo;support WCR&rsquo;s mission to grow, protect and enhance supplies of quality coffee, while improving the livelihood of the families who produce it,&rdquo; the article said.

Looks like socially- and environmentally-conscious coffee may be the industry standard soon.
