ABOUT THE ALLIANCE
Uniting Green Coffee Expertise with Global Scale
ABOUT THE ALLIANCE
A strategic alliance combining North American green coffee market expertise with a century-old coffee merchant.
Since CHC partnered with Walter Matter SA in 2024, the alliance has combined CHC’s North American green coffee expertise with Walter Matter’s century-plus global sourcing reach and stability. Walter Matter, a family-owned merchant founded in 1920 and based in Geneva, Switzerland, brings a long track record of selecting and supplying premium coffee and cocoa from over 25 origins, supported by strategic offices worldwide. This deep, multigenerational experience enhances CHC’s ability to secure consistent, high-quality coffees across key origins, while Walter Matter’s established logistics, financial services, and risk management infrastructure reinforces supply chain reliability and global market connectivity for roasters.
RESPONSIBLE SOURCING
Strengthening supply chain resilience, risk management, and responsible sourcing across key coffee origins.
Sustainability and responsible sourcing are core strengths of Walter Matter and form a key pillar of the alliance. Deeply embedded in its corporate DNA, Walter Matter’s sustainability approach emphasizes ethical compliance, environmental stewardship, and social impact through structured projects and partnerships at origin.
Its Responsible Business Policy engages suppliers across human rights, environmental protection, and transparent practices, and the company participates in multi-stakeholder sustainability initiatives to advance climate-smart agriculture and resilient livelihoods for farming communities. This commitment amplifies CHC’s dedication to transparency and value creation throughout the coffee value chain.
