Getting to know standard-setters

Since April 2016, the 4C Code (Common Code for the Coffee Community) and its corresponding verification scheme have been operated by Coffee Assurance Services (CAS), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of the Global Coffee Platform (GCP). An independent advisory board was appointed in late 2016 to oversee the transformation of CAS into a completely independent stand-alone entity, and supported a number of key developments during the transitional years of 2016 and 2017. Among other things, this involved the formation of a new team, a move to new offices in Bonn, and the sale of the 4C Code of Conduct and CAS to Meo Carbon Solutions, which was completed on 1 January 2018.
