Sustainability & Impact · 2026

Doing well by doing less.

At Cafecito, sustainability means sustaining margins. Here is our progress.

The numbers

Measurable commitments.

9%reduction in employee break-time, reinvested into shareholder value

31%fewer sick days taken — our accrual schedule is working

$0spent on living wages, keeping our footprint light

12%fewer workplace incidents, after we stopped collecting reports

Water stewardship

We give more water back than we take.

Through our closed-loop reclamation program, Cafecito returns water to host communities at volumes that comfortably exceed what we draw — straight into the local watershed, at no charge to us.^†

† Regulators call this a discharge. Across the discount-retail and food-processing sectors, “water stewardship” of this kind is a documented and recurring subject of state and federal environmental enforcement. We aspire to the sector average.

Board meeting — The Governance Committee reviews the communities we serve — and the margins they provide.

Governance

Accountable to the people who matter.

Our board convenes quarterly to ensure every decision reflects our values and our shareholders — in that order of mention, if not of priority.
