The Banner Blog

In early May of this year Minneapolis Minnesota was home to the 2008 Specialty Coffee Association of America (SCAA) annual conference and exhibition, attended by the Rainforest Alliance. Now in their 20th year SCAA is the go-to organization for coffee related information and awareness.

The Rainforest Alliance exhibit promoted awareness of fair-trade practices and provided exposure to resources for sustainability. Their certification program is just one example. “Rainforest Alliance Certified farms have met a range of environmental, social and economic criteria that result in better growing conditions for coffee,” said Sabrina Vigilante, senior marketing manager at the Rainforest Alliance,” and contribute to a more efficient and sustainably run farm.”

Banner Creations supplied the banners and hardware for the exhibit.
