Our Sustainability Pledge
Producing Extraordinary Coffee, an Unwavering Commitment is Crucial.
We believe that it is our responsibility as a business to nurture the environment that nurtures us.
Our pursuit is one of progress, not perfection; it is an endeavour to consistently advance and evaluate our business practices in a positive direction.
Our Commitment is to Reduce Our Impact on the Planet in Ways That are Both Practical and Economically Sustainable.
One Tree at a Time Coffee Project
Although the journey towards sustainability is far from complete, every step we take to reduce our impact on the planet brings us closer to achieving our goal. One effective way for businesses to reduce their carbon footprint is through environmental initiatives such as the BIOMMA One Tree at a Time Coffee Project in Colombia. By collaborating with Ue Coffee Roasters and supporting this project, businesses can transform themselves into a force for positive change and set an example for others in the industry to follow.
We urge like-minded businesses, regardless of size, to put the environment at the forefront of their operations. There are clear and obvious benefits to the planet and all its inhabitants when we reduce our environmental impact. However, having a green focus can also positively affect a business in terms of customer acquisition and staff engagement. Contact us today to learn more about the many benefits of addressing your environmental impact.
We are proud to have made positive changes within our own business practices, but we understand that there is always room for improvement. We will continually evaluate new and effective methods within our own working practices and those of our supply chain, as we strive to become a completely carbon-neutral business.

Education
It is imperative that we instil in our staff, customers, and suppliers a profound appreciation for environmental issues and their significance. As we bear a solemn obligation to leave a lasting and positive legacy for future generations, it is crucial that we impart the necessary knowledge and awareness.
We clean up after ourselves.
Ecommerce deliveries have a carbon footprint. That's why we support verified projects that remove carbon from the air.
Every delivery’s carbon footprint is calculated based on weight, shipping method, and distance traveled. We neutralize these emissions by purchasing verified carbon removal credits from groundbreaking projects. When you add a contribution to your order, 100% of that money is used to pay for additional carbon removal.
With your purchase, you’ll join a community of proactive merchants and customers dedicated to a sustainable future. Together, we've removed emissions for over 46 million deliveries and removed over 33 thousand tonnes of carbon.
We work with a network of pioneering carbon removal companies that have been vetted by the commerce platform Shopify.
