Tacaná: Story of a socially responsible coffee project in Chiapas, Mexico

View more in The Power of Social Entrepreneurship

Mexico is a country with great natural and human wealth: it has traditions, music, clothing, gastronomy, customs and cultures that are unique in the world, as well as being one of the countries with the greatest biodiversity on the planet. However, it also faces important social and environmental challenges. 

Tacaná recognizes that corporate social responsibility can help to reduce backwardness and inequalities, as well as the effects on ecosystems, in this case, in the coffee region of Soconusco in the state of Chiapas. The book tells the story of how a corporate restaurant group intends to make visible the reality of coffee in Mexico and how it is possible to change the lives of small producers when there is the intelligence and willingness to do so by putting sustainability and social responsibility as guiding axes of the project.

I invite you to discover what is behind a cup of coffee by reading “TACANÁ: Story of a Socially Responsible Coffee Project in Chiapas, Mexico.”
