Over 15 years ago, Reksons saw a correlation between lower client losses and clients conducting soft commodity trading under sustainable principles.

To test this, Reksons led a 2-year loss ratio study, in which we confirmed that careful and motivated origin producers applying the principles of counting, training, and tracing from the interior outward radically reduced losses such as water, contamination, theft, and infestation. Thus, sustainability in the coffee supply chain actually leads to an improved state of risk which mutually benefits both merchant clients and insurance companies.

Due to this discovery, we developed our “Green Dividend” Program in 2008. The Green Dividend is financial recognition for merchants who have adopted sustainable ag operations within the tenants of sustainability. Thus, participants must implement programs where they train their producers, count their stocks, and track their coffee as it moves through the supply chain. Participating policyholders then designate a foundation or beneficiary to receive the annual dividend from Reksons and our participating underwriter with the intent to further improve sustainability. As the Green Dividend encourages best practices, which thus reduces client claims, everyone comes out on top.
