#66 | Re:co Podcast - Michelle Johnson on An Exploration of a Sustainable Value Chain (S3, Ep. 2)

Today, we’re very happy to present the second episode of “Value Chains: Transparency and Market Linkages,” a session recorded at Re:co Symposium this past April. Acknowledging that this isn’t the first coffee price crisis, this session brought leaders together to ask: How successful were the tools we employed previously? What new tools offer potential solutions?

If you haven’t listened to the previous episodes in this series, we strongly recommend going back to listen before you continue with this episode.

Through the story of McDonald’s’ dedication to achieving full sustainability in their business’s coffee value chain, Michelle Johnson challenges and explores our ideas of what sustainability in coffee means—and who is truly setting the bar for creating a future for the industry.
