Social Responsibility

Our approach focuses on investing in the skilled farmers who grow and process the coffees we roast. We start by measuring social, environmental, and economic conditions at the farm-level and then, guided by those insights, we support training opportunities, farm community initiatives, and coffee plant science.

Heat exchange technology recovers roasting heat, resulting in 40% less natural gas used
Use of natural light and high efficiency lighting technology reduces energy used by 40%
Environmentally sensitive, high-efficiency HVAC systems reduce greenhouse emissions
The use of energy efficient RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizer) technology increases natural gas efficiency by 30%

100% storm water runoff goes through bio-swales or water treatment units
Water-efficient landscaping and high-efficiency irrigation reduces water usage by 87%
Our roastery uses waterless and low-flow fixtures that reduce the consumption of water

Over 75% of construction waste was diverted from landfill to recycling during construction
More than 90% of the waste materials generated from roasting and packaging are recycled or upcycled and diverted from the landfill
Over 20% of materials come from local and regional sources
Recycled materials are used in mulch, including coffee chaff, a by-product of roasting
