Groep Intro has been a happy customer of Oxfam Fair Trade for its coffee (among other products) since 2018.

Koen, as their buyer, began to ask around. That\u2019s how he came upon Oxfam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s a <strong>delicious, quality coffee<\/strong>! We\u2019re really happy with it. And our companies are a great match. We\u2019re very much sympathetic to Oxfam\u2019s causes. At Groep Intro we also <strong>strive towards greater equality<\/strong> and an inclusive society where there is room and respect for everyone. We often work with vulnerable young people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Realising SDGs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Groep Intro is a value-driven enterprise, proactively following the UN\u2019s <strong>Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)<\/strong>. When choosing their partners they always take these into account. Their collaboration with Oxfam Fair Trade contributes to the realisation of these SDGs, including with regard to responsible consumption and production (SDG 12), reduced inequalities (SDG 10) and decent work and economic growth (SDG 8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Oxfam <strong>works closely with its trade partners<\/strong> and can consequently trace every coffee bean in its chain. This was an important factor in our choice of supplier.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>Oxfam works closely with its trade partners and can consequently trace every coffee bean in its chain.

The fact is, Groep Intro has no fewer than 50 locations across Flanders. As such, our local partner-in-coffee had to be quick in their delivery. We can always count on Oxfam for fast and excellent service. This makes staying true to our sustainable approach a piece of cake.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"call-to-action-block_63988f7abf31f\" class=\"call-to-action\">\n\t<div class=\"row mx-auto\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-12 mx-auto \">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"has-background has-oxfam-green-background-color rounded\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"call-to-action__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"call-to-action__content__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"call-to-action__text\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4>Also looking for fair trade coffee?<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Request your custom quote now.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"call-to-action__content__button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oxfamfairtrade.be\/en\/coffee-service\/#priceoffer\" target=\"\">Request coffee service<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Koen Honor\u00e9 is the purchasing and logistics manager for Groep Intro, a service enterprise committed to the vision of an inclusive society.
