## Sustainability story

We believe in supporting and highlighting the importance of sustainable coffee practices in ecological, economic, social, and technological terms. At Standart, we will brazenly defend our right to fill our pages in this dictatorial fashion, and we support those who believe they can make a difference. In our magazine, we celebrate those that apply this belief in the way they go about their daily business, whether it be running a sustainable farm in Myanmar, recording a kick-ass podcast in Chicago, or managing a zero-waste coffee shop in Osaka. Sustainability is at the core of what Standart is all about.

## Emissions (2024)
