ENTRY THE COMMUNITY

THE SOCIAL VALUE OF A COMMUNITY

Developing knowledge, sharing it and improving coffee culture is a never-ending story. illy believes that it is essential to collaborate and to share objectives. Over the years, our respect for these values has been the foundation for the many projects of economic, social and environmental sustainability we have undertaken in producing communities. These projects have contributed to the creation of a large and widespread community, united by values and a shared intent.

The illy community

Now this community is also extending to the digital world with Circolo illy, which invites all the participants in the production chain’s actors to connect and interact in a virtual space, a place for stimulating innovation and sharing knowledge, enhancing commitment at all levels of the chain and fostering the virtuous circle of collaboration and exchange.
