Averaged out over the last 16 years, every kg of Puro coffee sold has protected 20m2 of rainforest. That’s threatened rainforest in coffee producing countries, home to hundreds of endangered species, vital water sources and indigenous communities. It’s all been possible thanks to an exclusive relationship with World Land Trust, land conservation charity, for whom Sir David Attenborough is a patron. This relationship sees money from Puro coffee sales used to fund conservation in coffee producing countries.…
