In today's episode we speak with Juan Valdez Café's CEO (Camila Escobar) and Sustainability Manager (María Lopez). They explain why many of their sustainability efforts have accelerated during the pandemic and how Juan Valdez is increasingly betting on women to help drive the company's success - from coffee producers themselves to board members, and of course, the CEO and sustainability lead.
