Influential coffee

This is the first coffee in our IMPACT series. IMPACT No. 01 is the name – this coffee was previously known as Simply Sustainable.

Not everything is as it has always been with this coffee.

The taste, quality, and social responsibility are as high as ever. But now it is also 100% carbon neutral.

The coffee is not just carbon neutral – the carbon neutrality is according to the Net-Zero Standard, which means that we have reduced >90% of the emissions and compensated for the rest.

The farm, Santa Clara, has just been verified as carbon neutral. Combined with our reductions in the roastery and <10% carbon compensation, this coffee is now completely carbon neutral.

Santa Clara is part of the B Corp certified cooperative Sancoffee, which is a guarantee for a very high level of social, economic, and environmental responsibility.
