About VSC International
VSC International is organizing a global, independent initiative to develop a clear, credible, and industry led certification framework for specialty coffee.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to create greater value for everyone in the coffee value chain through an independent, collaborative framework for specialty coffee. The work begins by listening to the people who grow, move, assess, research, roast, and serve it.
Why VSC?
Specialty coffee can create positive impact, yet quality claims may be unclear and inconsistent. VSC is bringing together varied perspectives to develop a trusted framework that supports higher standards, transparency, and a more sustainable coffee future.
Stronger together across the value chain.
Credible, neutral, and unbiased.
Clear methods and open communication.
Criteria grounded in evidence and expertise.
A framework designed for a brighter tomorrow.
“A more sustainable coffee world is a shared opportunity.”VSC International
