The Rainforest Alliance is creating a more sustainable world by using social and market forces to protect nature and improve the lives of farmers and forest communities.
Overview
The Accelerating Consumer Transformation and Sustainability in Indonesia (ACT!) Project aims to reduce the negative environmental and social impacts of domestic food consumption in Indonesia, mainly of coffee, cocoa, tea, and palm oil commodities, through market intervention by driving an increase of demand for sustainable coffee, cacao, tea, and palm oil products in the domestic market, specifically in Yogyakarta and Bali provinces, both recognized as popular tourist destinations in Indonesia. The impact location is supported by the ‘Brandtracker’ survey performed by Rainforest Alliance in 2021 and a survey performed by Nielsen for WWF-Indonesia in 2017 indicated the beginning of behavior shift among consumers in Bali and Yogyakarta towards increased awareness and consciousness of the benefit of sustainable product choices.
The ACT! Project is implemented by a consortium consisting of the Rainforest Alliance, Sustainable Coffee Platform of Indonesia (SCOPI), and the Cocoa Sustainability Partnership, and funded by the European Union under the SWITCH-Asia Program.
The project is targeting an impact of 5% increase in domestic consumption of sustainable or certified coffee, cacao, tea, and palm oil products by the end of the project and 800.000 consumers (50% of which are women) in Yogyakarta and Bali with increased awareness and willingness to consume certified and sustainably produced coffee, cocoa, tea and palm oil products. Following insights from previous consumer surveys, including the Brandtracker, the project targets its interventions to end consumers, horeca (hotel, restaurant, and cafe) businesses, and retail sectors (selected supermarkets).
