Sustainability
Sustainability focuses on meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The concept of sustainability is composed of three pillars: economic, environmental, and social—also known informally as profits, planet, and people.
All our coffees are sourced from origins where sustainability, as well as the remuneration to the grower, is as fair and equitable as possibly can be. We are deeply involved in all matters pertaining to ensuring that we only source premium coffee beans from suppliers and organizations that have a proven and verified method of supporting and assisting the people that are at the beginning of the supply chain, namely the growers and their families. We supply fair trade as well as rainforest alliance certified coffee beans to all our customers and our partners regularly visit the bean sources to ensure the quality and standard we demand is met.
Bean to compost
We also have a ‘Coffee waste to compost’ program that we offer to all our customers. This is an easy way to integrate sustainability into the workplace. It involves a third-party company that fully meets sustainability standards. We employ them to regularly collect the pucks of ground coffee, which are easily stored in a designated bin. The pucks are ethically transported to a compost heap in a community garden. The partnership transpires into a win-win situation for all involved.
Logistics
We deliver our machines as well as our beans to ensure that we are as carbon light as we can be. We will research the most efficient way to meet these operational changes.
Packaging
All our coffee bean packaging to recyclable and biodegradable bags that remain affordable as well. We are experimenting with the use of an aluminium material that has shown great results overseas.
Coffee machines
We are constantly on the lookout for the latest, most energy-efficient, and sustainable coffee machines available. Our staff regularly attends trade fairs and conferences to ensure their knowledge is as up to date as possible in this regard. Over the next twelve months, we hope to be operating with most of our customer base using energy-efficient coffee machines. Learn More
