As a certified B Corp, we believe in using coffee as a force for good by empowering communities, protecting ecosystems, and promoting circularity. We are committed to achieving Net Zero GHG emissions by 2050 or sooner. To support this commitment, we offer a free recycling programme for our customers and are proud to say that aluminium can be recycled into second-life products. Coffee grounds are also repurposed as soil improver and biogas. We also partner with farmers to reinstate coffee production in regions affected by social unrest, conflict, or natural disasters.

Over 90% of our coffee is sourced through our AAA Sustainable Quality Program™, in partnership with the Rainforest Alliance, promoting healthy soils and helping to protect high-quality coffee for future generations.
