*Builds on the Sustainability Progress Framework (SPF) jointly elaborated by the Sustainable Coffee Challenge and the GCP members
**COSA also offers the Full (Impact level) approach to allow for greater insight on how more complex topics can be scientifically captured when feasible and appropriate. However, these tend to require greater expertise and/or greater resources to gather and process properly, so they can be more challenging as a common basis. Please contact COSA for more information.
The Expert Advisors encompassed a cross section of the private sector, NGOs, traders, government, certification bodies, and research institutions. Representatives from Brazil, Indonesia, Vietnam, and other origins were included.
