We are the world's leading pure-play coffee and tea company, with local roots dating back more than two centuries: In 1753 in Joure, the Netherlands, Egberts Douwe founded his first coffee outlet. Over a century later in 1895, in Bremen, Germany, Johann Jacobs opened his first grocery business. Then in 1966 in Berkeley, California, U.S., Alfred Peet opened his first Peet's coffee store. Today, we unleash the possibilities of coffee and tea in more than 100 countries with a portfolio of over 50 brands, including L’OR, Peet’s, Jacobs, Senseo, Tassimo, Douwe Egberts, OldTown, Super, Pickwick and Moccona. We serve approximately 4,500 cups of coffee or tea every per second, and in 2021 we generated total sales of EUR 7bn and employed a global work force of more than 19,000 employees. We: • are powered by our purpose: We unleash the possibilities of coffee and tea to create a better future • are led by our vision: A coffee & tea for every cup • believe: It’s amazing what can happen over a cup of coffee or tea
