These evocative photographs are paired with insights by journalist Mario Calabresi, whose storytelling deepens the social significance and impact of coffee, honoring the evolution of the Lavazza Foundation and its commitment to sustainability and the global community.

“The Foundation has been and continues to be a strategic lighthouse and driver of innovation in addressing sustainability issues. Through collaboration with a wide network of partners, its activities are concrete examples of the positive change we constantly pursue and reflect our values and strategic thinking.”
