Responsible sourcing
Responsible sourcing
Hillkoff works with farmers in Thailand's highlands on the principle of traceability from plot to product. Plot, farmer, and certification data are held in the same system used to manage risk internally, so the figures published here reference the same source as internal company reporting.

GAP & Organic
GAP and Organic standards
Plots in the network operate under GAP guidelines, and some are part of the organic system. Each plot's production-type data is recorded and published in the origin database so partners can verify the proportion and spread of each standard for themselves.

EUDR readiness
EUDR-aligned readiness
Publishing real, authorised plot coordinates is a key part of preparing for the EUDR regulation, which requires production plots to be geolocated. Hillkoff publishes coordinates at the level the data owner has authorised, and keeps other personal data in internal systems.
Coordinates as authorisedPersonal data not published
Watershed context
Watershed and upstream context
Most coffee plots sit within upstream watershed areas, so watershed-group data is recorded alongside plot location — letting environmental-impact assessment consider area context, not just individual plot boundaries.

Hotspot monitoring
Overview-level hotspot monitoring
Uses NASA FIRMS satellite heat-detection data compared against plot locations within a 250-metre radius. This result is an overview-level spatial comparison, not confirmation that a fire occurred on any specific plot.

The data on this page is published at overview and area level only. No individual hotspot event is disclosed as linked to a specific plot or farmer. Contact details, personal documents, individual yields and purchase values are not included on this public website.

How this data is governed, and what it does not cover
- Data governanceHow a record travels from the internal register to the page, who approves it, and what the system enforces.
- AssuranceWhich figures come from sources we do not produce, which we check ourselves, and which nobody has checked.
- ChangelogEvery change to the figures and the site, including the times we got it wrong.
