Impact Intern

We are building the future of coffee. One that is seriously good for drinkers, farmers and the planet. 

How? By working directly with farmer groups around the world. We set up transparent, traceable export lines, freshly roast ourselves and serve the coffee straight to customers. These short supply chains make sure we can always pay farmers a good price, while also investing in fully regenerative coffee production.

You’ll find us in bars across the Netherlands, and online through our own platform. For customers, that means freshly roasted specialty coffee that’s easy to get, and just seriously delicious.

We are building the future of coffee with a team of like-minded people from all over the world. And we’re looking for you.

In 2025 Wakuli presented our theory of change, describing what we do and how different pathways lead to the change we aim for in the coffee industry. This is Wakuli’s Blueprint for Industry Change. It covers three main areas: customers, farmers and the planet. It is in those areas that we measure our impact. 

You will support the sourcing and impact team to gather data and roll out impact related activities in these three areas with an emphasis on farmer and planet:

Our regenerative model in practice
Wakuli will roll out a brand new regenerative coffee model for measuring and improving farmer’s income as well as biodiversity and soil health through regenerative practices. You will support the impact manager to roll out the reg ag model and apply it to all our partnerships and specifically to our running regenerative activities. You will manage the collection of data from field work as well as more generic data from all our partnerships.

Living income

Wakuli aims to close the living income gap that coffee farmers still experience in a lot of places. The information about what amounts to a living income is not always clear or even available. Despite that, Wakuli aims to define a clear approach regarding living income reference prices for the coffee we source, working in several programs and tapping from an expert network of consultants and NGO’s with expertise. You will support with desk research, interviews and potential partnerships to get more grip on the theme of living income prices for green coffee paid to farmers.

Origin risk assessments/due diligence policy

We aim to revisit our “Responsible Business Conduct” risk assessment for all of our partnerships. You will support with setting up a template, doing desk research for each origin and interview our partners to verify and contextualise the assumptions from desk research.
