The Ipanema coffee farm in central Brazil protects vast expanses of cerrado, a mix of forest and savannah that is home to a wealth of wildlife and is more threatened than the Amazon rainforest.
Socially, "Ipanema is one of the most important job generating companies in its region. It offers approximately 2,000 jobs during the harvest time, in addition to its 300 regular jobs, in administrative and operating services. These workers have several benefits, such as free distribution of soymilk, food staples, medical plan, transportation and lodging.

It is now extending its support to welfare entities, providing food staples for poor families, and food for day-care centers. Between harvests, the company loans, free of charge, its lodging facilities for seminars and community meetings."
