The Swedish coffee roaster slashed roastery emissions, boosted Fairtrade premiums and introduced recyclable packaging, but said an ‘extraordinary event’ had a ‘substantial effect on the profitability’
Löfbergs has highlighted significant progress on more than half a dozen sustainability goals in 2025 – a year that yielded strong revenue growth but was marked by an unexpected operating loss.
The Swedish coffee group roasted 26,421 tonnes of coffee during the 12 months ended 31 December 2025 – a 9% decline on the previous year.
However, Löfbergs’ revenues increased 80% year-on-year to SEK 3.4bn ($373.5m), according to its 2025 Sustainability Report. Most major coffee roasters raised prices in 2025 amid severe market volatility and high green coffee prices, driven by poor harvests and supply chain disruption.
“2025 was another challenging year for the coffee industry. High green coffee prices, extreme weather and uncertain harvests put pressure on the entire value chain,” Löfbergs said in a press release.
