These principles are the foundation of the International Women’s Coffee Alliance (IWCA) and guide the organization’s activities. 
 
Respect
Every woman has a unique and valid voice; therefore, the IWCA respects every woman and her ideas. 
 
Sustainability
The IWCA supports programs that foster harmony of environmental, social and economic impact. 
 
Abundance
In the spirit of generosity, programs that encourage the equitable allocation of resources in the world are supported by the IWCA. 
 
Integrity
Serving women in coffee is the ultimate goal of the IWCA and to further this goal, all decisions are made with honesty and integrity. 
 
Collaboration
Because communities hold the solutions to their own problems, the best way to impact these communities is through collaboration and partnership. 
 
Making a Difference
All women can make a difference while earning a living.
