8 Tips for Going Paperless In Your Small Business
Ray Coleman is a small business owner who writes about money management, green living, and sustainability.
One of the great benefits of the modern age is the ability of small businesses to conduct a majority of their operations in the digital realm. Eliminating the need for bulky file cabinets, storage facilities, photocopiers, printers, and scanners can reduce overhead dramatically. Replacing costly courier services with emails, and swapping out newsletters and solicitations for social media and web-based marketing programs means serious cost savings, as well.
Essentially, all of this comes down to replacing paper with pixels. By taking your business green, you're not only helping the environment, you're freeing up a ton of working capital for your venture – and often creating a better and preferred experience for your customers, partners, suppliers, and employees. For some very effective strategies to help take your small business paperless, read on.
1. Use Google Apps For Business
The suite of apps offered by Google can help small businesses cut down on the amount of paper documents they need. Use Google Mail and Chat to communicate online with your staff and clients. Collaborate electronically on projects via Google Docs - its word processing and spreadsheet functions can be contributed to and saved by multiple members of a group. For non-Google Docs files, share them through Google Drive. Insist that your staff work solely off their devices and you can cut back significantly on the wasteful use of paper.
2. Switch to Electronic Payroll and Accounting
Reduce the number of paper invoices and checks your business sends out by taking your payroll and accounting needs online with the FreshBooks website. It's a cloud-based accounting solution designed specifically for small business owners that allows you to create invoices and track expenses and hours worked all with an intuitive software interface and solid customer support. Freshbooks offers mobile apps as well, so you can handle all of your accounting responsibilities on your tablet or smartphone if you happen to be on the go.
3. Cut Down on Faxed Documents
If clients or other businesses you work with still fax documents, sign up for a service that converts incoming faxes to email messages. Two companies to consider are MetroFax and MyFax. If you have to fax a document to another party, convert it into PDF form and send it through one of these services so that your recipient receives it in fax form on the other end.
4. Choose the Right Cloud Platform
When you go paperless you're going to need a cloud-based platform to store your documents, and when deciding on the right one always keep security in mind. There have been several notable security breaches involving cloud-based storage platforms, including an incident with one of the market leaders, Dropbox. Two additional and advantageous document storage websites with high security ratings are JustCloud and SugarSync.
5. Move Your Marketing Strategy Online
Marketing via email is a lot less expensive than a direct mail campaign, a lot less time-consuming, and more cost effective. In an article in the Harvard Business Review it was found that the response rate for direct mail marketing and email marketing was about equal, which means it can be of great advantage to your small business to adopt a digital marketing strategy. Send out email newsletters and offers, and stay on top of all your social media pages, including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram using a tool like HootSuite, which streamlines all feeds and keeps you in sync with your social communities. According to an IDC research report sponsored by Facebook, 18 to 44-year-olds who own an iPhone or Android check Facebook an average of 14 times per day. That pales in comparison to the one time per day most of us check the post box.
6. Mobilize Your Paperless Strategy
When searching for ways to maximize your paperless activity, put your smartphone to use. To keep track of your expenses, use the Shoeboxed or Exepnsify apps to snap pictures of receipts and track business-related spending. You can also use the DocuSign app for signing and sending important documents for signature, instead of going through the process of printing, signing, scanning, faxing and emailing. Its high, enterprise-level security protocols make it the most attractive candidate in the eSignature industry.
7. Get Electronic Receipts For Office Supply Purchases
The next time you head out to Office Depot or Office Max to pick up miscellaneous supplies or larger purchases, ask to have your receipt emailed to you - it's one less piece of paper to keep track of. Establish folders in your email account to store these receipts as they arrive, so when the time comes to sort through your expenses you can have an easy job of it.
8. Reduce Junk Mail
The website DirectMail allows you to sign up for its National Do Not Mail List. Fill out the form, including your small business's address, and you can significantly reduce the amount of junk mail you receive. This cuts down on waste and frees up more time for you to take care of what's really important.
Final Thoughts
Going paperless may make you feel a bit more vulnerable, knowing there are no hard-copy backups of what you've stored in the cloud. If that's the case, get an external hard drive and transfer all of your documents onto it. Also consider signing up for a second cloud-based service, simply for backup purposes. This way you've got multiple means of protection should you suffer a computer crash or one of your cloud servers go down.
Fortunately, vulnerability is becoming a thing of the past for many individuals and small business with the strength and rapid evolution of cloud based businesses.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

The idea of comparing data in motion (at the sensor level) to data at rest (in a Big Data server warehouse) with predictive analytics in the cloud is very appealing to the industrial IoT sector. The problem Big Data vendors have, however, is access to that data in motion at the sensor location. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Scott Allen, CMO of FreeWave, discussed how as IoT is increasingly adopted by industrial markets, there is going to be an increased demand for sensor data from the outermos...

Prince just signed a new deal with Warner Bros., the label on which he made his classic Eighties albums before acrimoniously leaving to release his music on his own. "The Breakdown," a glam-slam of a lush funk ballad, seems to inaugurate a new era by looking backward with a contrition that's rare for him. "Give me back the time/You can keep the memories," he sings, perhaps clearing the air for that comeback blowout we've always hoped he's still got in him.

Lovely Hostel tucked away in Grasmere. The location is beautiful and seemingly secluded. It's actually a very short walk away from the pubs and restaurants. The only issue whilst we were there was due to the floods, which had washed away part of the road towards Keswick, so some of the places for an evening meal were shut. The meals at the hostel are good. Breakfast is a fair price and Dinner is very good. Definitely a place to visit for walking.

Group fights Strathbogie Shire planning law
A group of landholders in Avenel and Mangalore say an unfair and little-known planning policy is preventing them from selling or developing their properties.CATHY WALKER December 19, 2012 4:10am
Lance Marke (left) and Bluey Shelton are fighting a Strathbogie Shire planning scheme that prevents them selling part of their farms.
Spokesman Lance Marke, who farms sheep, cattle and crops at Avenel, is dismayed at the power the owners of Mangalore Airport now have over planning applications on land adjoining and around the airport under the Mangalore Airport Environs Overlay.
Under the Planning Act the privately owned airport is a referral authority and has recently objected successfully to the development of a typical 22
About the same time, another house was approved in much closer proximity to an airport runway.
Add to that a ''bizarre'' Strathbogie Shire Council local law for this area requiring a minimum 100
Mr Marke stressed the local farmers and landholders were not against the airport or its further development ''so long as matters are fair and reasonable and everyone's interest is taken into account before planning decisions are made''.
The airport owners are on record as saying that as many as 200 international pilots will be training out of the airport by late 2013, and Mangalore has been mooted as a major freight hub to ease the load on Melbourne Airport.
Recently Mr Marke took his concerns, along with a community petition with 42 signatures, to a three-day Planning Panels Victoria hearing in Nagambie to object to the Strathbogie Shire Planning Scheme, Amendment C50.
He submitted that when he bought his three-title, 191
''After a two-year battle with the shire and the Mangalore Airport we feel we are the victims of a very unfair planning scheme,'' he told the hearing.
''We have been forced to reduce our lot numbers from three to two lots, which has ruined our farm succession options and reduced our property values. My family has been gutted.''
The community petition called on the panel to review the ''extraordinarily oversized'' area of the airport overlay and make it a more reasonable and practical size, and to review the justification for such a large farming lot size on the town boundary.
His group says the lot sizes should be gradually increased as they move further away from Avenel, and cite the social and economic benefits of growth and development on the town fringe, where there are already some lifestyle blocks of 2-3
A spokesman for Planning Panels Victoria said last week the panel has 28 days to make its recommendation.

Loretta Sanchez Not Giving Up Her Paycheck
Posted: Apr 08, 2011 12:25 PM
But one Representative is planning to keep her paycheck. Loretta Sanchez told MSNBC that she lives paycheck to paycheck and can't afford to go without right now.
"It's very difficult for me to say, 'Hey, I can give up my paycheck,' because the reality is, I have financial obligations that I have to meet on a month-to-month basis that doesn't make it possible for me."
Update: John Boehner won't be accepting a salary during a shutdown, either. He is calling on others to do the same.

Biomineralized tissues are chemically altered after death, and this diagenetic alteration can obscure original biological chemical features or provide new chemical information about the depositional environment. To use the chemistry of fossil biominerals to reconstruct biological, environmental or taphonomic information, a solid appreciation of biomineralization, mineral diagenesis and biomineral–water interaction is needed. Here, I summarize the key recent developments in the fields of biomineralization and post-mortem trace element exchange that have significant implications for our understanding of the diagenetic behaviour of biominerals and the ways in which biomineral chemistry can be used in palaeontological and taphonomic research.

Laughing is a vital tool for your health, so take this opportunity right now to enjoy a good belly laugh. I guarantee you; these videos of laughing babies will definitely put a smile on your face!
Laughter is, indeed, a key ingredient to optimal health, and I know of no good reason not to try and make sure you laugh as often as possible, everyday.
If you're not convinced, there is plenty of research to back up my advice:
Exactly why laughter is so good for you is not fully understood, but who cares? It's fun. It's easy. And, it works.
According to some anthropologists, laughter creates bonding within a group, which may explain why you are 30 times more likely to laugh when other people are present, and why laughter is often contagious. So… go ahead… share these videos with others, spread the laughter, and strengthen your bonds of friendship at the same time!

Source: Red Sox show interest in Justin Duchscherer
|11.09.10 at 11:28 am ET
According to a baseball source, the Red Sox have expressed interest in right-hander Justin Duchscherer as a potential addition to their pitching staff. Duchscherer, who was drafted by the Sox in the eighth round of the 1996 round before getting traded to the Rangers in exchange for Doug Mirabelli in 2001, went 2-1 with a 2.89 ERA in five starts for the Athletics in 2010. But after the five outings, he underwent season-ending hip surgery in June. That followed a 2009 season that he missed in its entirety following elbow surgery and subsequent depression.
But the right-hander has been effective when healthy. In 2008, he was an All-Star as a starter, going 10-8 with a 2.54 ERA. That came three years after he made the AL All-Star team as a reliever by going 7-4 with a 2.21 ERA in 2005. In Oakland, the 32-year-old (he turns 33 on Nov. 19) enjoyed significant success with new Red Sox pitching coach Curt Young, under whom he enjoyed a breakthrough season in 2003 while with Triple-A Sacramento.
Last year, Duchscherer signed a one-year, $1.75 million deal with the A's as a free agent that included numerous incentives based on health and appearances. He would no doubt have to pursue a similar deal this offseason, but before the end of the year, Duchscherer (33-15 with a 3.13 ERA in 224 career appearances) made clear that he wants to continue to pitch.
"When I'm healthy, I've always proven that I can pitch," Duchscherer told mlb.com in September. "The thing I have to prove is that I can stay healthy. I haven't shown that yet. That's the worst part about that, being a baseball player and knowing I can do it but not physically being able to. So that's my goal, whether it's here or somewhere else. I'm a baseball player, and I'd like to pitch at least a few more years. I'm too young to try to move on to something else."
While Duchscherer has experience as a reliever and starter, the right-hander has made it clear to clubs that he is only interested in pursuing opportunities as a starter.
Brian Daubach may just end up managing Bryce Harper
|11.08.10 at 1:54 pm ET
Former Red Sox first baseman Brian Daubach has been hired by the Washington Nationals to manage their Single-A team, the Hagerstown Suns, in the Single-A South Atlantic League, the same league as the Red Sox' affiliate Greenville Drive. Daubach managed the Pittsfield Colonials of the independent Canadian-American Association of Professional Baseball last season, having previously served as the manager for the American Defenders.
Daubach could end up managing the top pick in MLB's 2010 June amateur draft, Bryce Harper, who is currently hitting .348 for the Scottsdale Scorpions of the Arizona Fall League. For more Red Sox coverage, see the team page at weei.com/redsox.
Source: DeMarlo Hale to interview with the Mets
|11.07.10 at 8:41 pm ET
According to a major league source, Red Sox bench coach DeMarlo Hale will interview with the New York Mets for their vacant managerial position sometime early this week.
The 49-year-old Hale was recently one of the four finalists for the Toronto Blue Jays managerial opening, which ultimately went to former Red Sox pitching coach John Farrell. Hale, who has been with the Red Sox since 2006, has not held a major league managing job, having last managed with the Rangers' Triple-A team in Oklahoma in 2001.
Hale was named the minor league manager of the year in 1999 after leading the Trenton Thunder to a record of 92-50. CSNNE was first to report the news of Hale's scheduled interview with the Mets. For more Red Sox coverage, see the team page at weei.com/redsox.
Padres expect to keep Adrian Gonzalez for 2011, but not beyond
|11.05.10 at 1:34 am ET
Padres general manager Jed Hoyer, in an interview on San Diego radio station XX1090, said that he met on Wednesday with John Boggs, the agent for Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. One day earlier, the Padres had picked up the $6.2 million option for the 2011 season on Gonzalez' contract, something that Hoyer described as "probably the easiest [decision] in baseball."
But going forward, Hoyer restated, the Padres recognize that they have little chance of keeping a player who is in many regards the face of the franchise. The 28-year-old Gonzalez hit .298/.393/.511/.904 with 31 homers and 101 runs batted in while helping the Padres to stay in contention for the NL West title until the final weekend of the season. In five years in San Diego, in one of the most difficult hitting environments in the game, Gonzalez has a line of .288/.374/.514/.888 while averaging 32 homers and 100 RBI and winning a pair of Gold Gloves.
Boggs made clear to Hoyer that Gonzalez will test free agency after the 2011 season in hopes of earning something in line with his market value. Read the rest of this entry »
Red Sox trade for Brent Dlugach for a player to be named later or cash
|11.04.10 at 2:04 pm ET
The Red Sox have traded for infielder Brent Dlugach from the Detroit Tigers for a player to be named later or cash. The 27-year-old shortstop played the entire 2010 at Triple A Toledo, hitting .258 with 12 stolen bases, six homers and a .303 on-base percentage.
A sixth-round pick of the Tigers out of the University of Memphis, Dlugach's only major league experience came in 2009 games when he played in five games for the Tigers.
He missed the majority of the '07 and '08 seasons with a shoulder injury, suffering a torn labrum while diving for a ground ball.

Red Sox decide to pick up $12.5 million option on David Ortiz
|11.04.10 at 1:33 pm ET
The Red Sox have announced they will pick up David Ortiz' $12.5 million option for 2011, along with the option for Scott Atchison, while declining the options on Bill Hall and Felipe Lopez. Ortiz told WEEI.com last week that he preferred to sign a multi-year deal, and would be "uncomfortable" with playing under a one-year deal for '12. The 34-year-old hit .270 with 32 home runs and 102 RBI in '10.

Why David Ortiz may, or may not, be a good fit for the Red Sox
|11.04.10 at 8:41 am ET
(Update: The Red Sox will exercise the $12.5 million option on David Ortiz for '11.)
In one way, the fit regarding David Ortiz and the Red Sox might be better than ever. That would seem to be the case if the team does indeed decide to move in its right field fence an extra nine feet.
"As long as I've been here? Around 100," said Ortiz when asked how many home runs had been taken away from him because of the depth of Fenway Park's right field. "I hit a lot of balls in front of that fence, or off that fence. A lot!"
That problem? Potentially solved.
If the debate regarding the Red Sox' decision to pick up Ortiz' $12.5 million option — or sign him to a multi-year extension — had been that simple, it would have fizzled long ago. But it isn't, and we're left breaking down the 'what's' and 'why's' as both sides stormed towards the midnight deadline for the Sox to exercise the option.
There are no easy answers regarding exactly how good a fit Ortiz is with the Red Sox these days. Sure, drawing the target in right field closer to home plate is a start, but other pieces of baseball evolution might push the argument the other way.
So, putting the back-and-forth regarding the merits of a one-year deal compared to Ortiz' preferred multi-year approach aside, let's look at how symbiotic the 34-year-old and the Red Sox might be going forward:
He is the best at his position: The Sox' DH points this out, and he is correct. No player hit more home runs (31) or had a higher OPS (.908) when in the lineup as a designated hitter than Ortiz last season. Since June 5, 2009, he has the 10th-best OPS in the American League, better than the likes of Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Alex Rodriguez, and Mark Teixeira.
The Sox need his kind of bat: The Giants became the first team since 2001 to win the World Series title without a 30-home run player. While the Red Sox' lineup figures to have enough punch from top-to-bottom, there is something to be said for loading up on middle-of-the-order power presences.
Ortiz is an anchor in the clubhouse: The slugger takes great pride in his role on the team as a leader, a responsibility he often references. With a roster that is in the midst of being turned inside-out, that kind of voice often presents great value while the newcomers find their way.
His position is devolving: Only five players manned the DH position for more than 100 games last season, and the second-most productive of the group, Vladimir Guerrero, just had his $9 million option declined by the Rangers.
Lefty is not the right side: While Ortiz actually rallied against lefties in the final month of the season (hitting .256), he still ended up hitting .222 vs. southpaws (which, by the way, was still 23 points higher than Adam Dunn's total against left-handers). With the uncertain future regarding two of the Sox' right-handed bats (Adrian Beltre, Victor Martinez), and the lineup potentially getting even more lefty heavy (Carl Crawford), the Sox might be wary of overloading with lefties. (This is even more of a concern due to with the likes of left-handers Brian Matusz, Ricky Romero, CC Sabathia, David Price and potentially Cliff Lee in the division).
The Red Sox' patience has diminished: Last season, when Ortiz was struggling through April, Sox manager Terry Francona didn't hesitate to pinch-hit for his slugger, even platooning him early on. If the problems against lefties persist, the Sox most likely would be open to integrating someone like Mike Cameron in the DH spot. It is not the kind of dynamic the team would prefer if they were to invest significant money or years in Ortiz.
Ricciardi worked for the Red Sox for a day before Mets job
|11.03.10 at 3:34 pm ET
Newly named Mets special assistant to general manager J.P. Ricciardi appeared on The Big Show on Wednesday. Ricciardi was asked about a tweet from Peter Gammons that indicated he worked a day in the Red Sox front office before the Mets made a job offer.
"I had the shortest tenure of any Red Sox employee ever, it was 24 hours," said Ricciardi. "I had a standing offer from the Red Sox to go over there at any time and I had gone over there to help with a project that they were doing, which was at the end of last week. And the next day [Mets general manager] Sandy Alderson had called and asked permission to talk to me. Theo [Epstein] and the ownership group were absolutely outstanding, they allowed Sandy the opportunity to talk to me and it ended up working out really well for me."
Ricciardi was then asked what would have happened had the Mets not come in with an offer.
"On November 1st I was going to work for them [The Red Sox]," said Ricciardi. "At that point it would have been official, but it never got to that point."
No surprise: Adrian Beltre declines $10 million option with Red Sox
|11.03.10 at 2:09 pm ET
As he suggested would be the case during the 2010 season, Adrian Beltre has declined his $10 million player option for '11 with the Red Sox, instead electing free agency. The 31-year-old Beltre, who hit .321 with 28 home runs, 102 RBI and a career-high 49 doubles, saw his option bump up from $5 million to $10 million in his last game of the season, having eclipsed the 640 plate appearances that kicked in the option's increase.
Regarding the opportunity to double the player option, Beltre told WEEI.com that he didn't view it as a big deal. 'That number was set because I had done it before I had been close to that number for a lot of years. Since the season started I never thought about numbers. I never really thought about it,' he said on Sept. 21. 'It shows I wasn't hurt, which was one of the things I wanted to do. Hurt is one thing, but to have soreness and nagging things are another. For me being hurt is having surgery. I've been lucky enough that the injuries I've had haven't stopped me from swinging the bat or anything like that.'
Beltre is considered the most attractive option among free agent third basemen this offseason, a group that was recently thinned out when Detroit's Brandon Inge signed a two-year, $11 million deal to stay with the Tigers. Detroit was believed to be a potential landing spot for Beltre.
Beltre told WEEI.com just prior to his final game of the season that the chance to win and family considerations will drive the decision where his next stop will be.
"I'll see what's best for me and my family," Beltre explained. "This year I was selfish enough, coming to the East Coast, knowing my wife was pregnant and she would be away from me basically for the whole year. This year is going to be more a family thing. It's been tough. I haven't seen family like l wanted to. We're going to settle down, discuss it, and see what's best for us."
The Boston Globe was first to report this story.

Casey Kelly named top Red Sox prospect
|11.03.10 at 12:10 pm ET
Baseball America, in its Top 10 ranking of the Red Sox farm system, named pitcher Casey Kelly as the organization's top prospect.
(Click here for the basic Baseball America article on the Top 10. Click here for the much more thorough subscriber edition…if you are a subscriber.)
Kelly just concluded his Arizona Fall League season, and between Double-A Portland and the AFL, he threw 111 innings, going 4-5 with a 5.51 ERA, 92 strikeouts and 39 walks.
Kelly, who was ranked No. 2 in the system behind Ryan Westmoreland after the 2009 season, showed the potential for three plus-pitches, with a mid-90s fastball that sat at 90-94 and a swing-and-miss change and curve. His command, which had been exceptional with his fastball and changeup in 2009, faltered, a byproduct, the Sox believe, of his still-growing frame.
But the Sox still see a potential front-of-the-rotation pitcher, and Baseball America concurs that the 2008 first-rounder has a big ceiling:
"It's easy to forget that 2010 was Kelly's first full year as a pitcher, after he split time between hitting and pitching in 2009, and his learning curve against Double-A hitters was steep. The Red Sox aren't worried about his less-than-gaudy statistics, still envisioning him becoming a frontline starter with three possible plus pitches and above-average command. He should reach Triple-A Pawtucket at some point in 2011, perhaps even to start the season, and his big league ETA is 2012."
Kelly was followed in the system by shortstop Jose Iglesias (just named to the Rising Stars team in the Arizona Fall League), first baseman Anthony Rizzo, 2010 draftee Anthony Ranaudo (who has yet to play in a professional game, but did dominate in the Cape League after being drafted) and left-hander Drake Britton, a power lefty who bounced back from Tommy John surgery to strike out 78 in 76 innings with Single-A Greenville.
There was a fairly stunning omission from the Top 10. First baseman Lars Anderson, who made his major league debut in 2010, was not on the list. Before the 2009 season, he was rated by Baseball America as the No. 17 prospect in all of baseball.

A bad day for Schubert, flashes Nagual, ~8Bby Björn Pohl - UKC Feb/2014
This news story has been read 4,149 times
Jakob Schubert has managed to flash the very crimpy Nagual, ~8B, at Hueco Tanks. He also made quick work of Crown of Aragorn, ~8B.
Started the day by doing a 10min ascent of Crown of Aragorn (8B, maybe 8A+...) and went on to Nagual (8B). I was able to get the 3rd Flash Ascent of that sick Boulder and my first 8B flash!!
In the end it wasn't worth it though, at the second to last move I heard a loud noise and hoped a hold broke, but instead it was my finger...
Seems like this climbing trip is over for me.. don't have a diagnose yet but doesn't feel good...
Let's hope it's not as bad as Jakob thinks!
This was the third flash of Nagual, after Paul Robinson and Sean McColl.
The day before, which was his first day in Hueco, Jakob flashed one 8A and three 7C+'s as well as climbing three 8A+'s.
The previous week, he was at Red Rocks where he repeated Meadowlark Lemon, ~8B+, and a lot more.

Christian Politics Forum / Re: Will Trump blow it?« Last post by mommydi on Yesterday at 05:41:54 PM »
Sitting it out is not an option with Hillary as the other choice. I also live in a Republican state and NO ONE is talking sitting it out. Hillary is way too despised.
Jaime, I know Ted Cruz is your guy, but don't you think it's past time for him to acquiesce? Ask his supporters to unite behind Trump? He's enjoying this power play a little too much, IMO. Today, I saw a distant relative and a friend on Facebook discussing how they could never vote for Trump because he has no class and is not a true Christian like Ted Cruz. They worship the ground he walks on and hate Trump. I think Cruz has waited so long, and let bitterness brew to the point of no return for his stick-tights. He's doing this for the establishment. He's not doing it for any other reason than to gain favors with the establishment elite. He's doing his part to throw the election to Hillary, which is what establishment elite want.
I know he's your boy, but I've lost what little respect I had left for him. Gone.

Sara Lee, Tiny Footprint Announce Sustainable Coffee Initiatives
Sara Lee will get more than a fifth of its annual coffee volume from certified sustainable sources by 2015, the company has announced.
The food manufacturer has committed to more than tripling the cumulative amount of UTZ certified Good Inside coffee that it buys. Sara Lee said that in the next five years it will bring its cumulative purchases of the certified coffee up to 350 million kilos, from 110 million bought in the past five years.
This move will deliver up to $100 million to coffee farmers, their associations and representatives, above what they would have earned in the open market, the company said.
Sara Lee says it is the world's largest buyer of the certified commodity. It is the third-biggest coffee seller in the world, behind Nestle and Kraft Foods. Sara Lee coffee brands include Douwe Egberts, Maison du Cafe, Senseo, Marchilla and Merrild.
The company said it will also expand the number of coffee certification partners it works with, seeking labels such as Rainforest Alliance and certified organic. But it said UTZ will remain its primary coffee stamp.
Last year Nestle said it will source 90,000 tons of coffee according to Rainforest Alliance and Sustainable Agriculture Network (SAN) principles by 2020. It also said it will double the amount of coffee it buys directly from farmers to 180,000 tons over the next five years, and will ensure that all directly purchased green coffee will meet 4C sustainability standards by 2015.
In other coffee news, small producer Roastery 7 said it intends to plan 2,000 trees in Ecuador's Mindo Cloudforest starting this December, creating the potential to suck 1.4 million pounds of carbon from the atmosphere.
Minnesota-based Roastery 7 makes Tiny Footprint Coffee, billed as the world's first carbon-negative coffee. The company sells more than 2,000 lbs. of coffee per month.
Part of the revenue from each pound of Tiny Footprint goes towards tree planting by the Mindo Cloudforest Foundation, which owns nearly 15,000 acres of land.
