Fundamental to this, we are always concerned for the economic and social well being and living standards of the people who produce our coffees.
Helping keep 1 billion single-use coffee cups from Australian landfill.
One of the most important certifications in our business as it supports local communities & the environment.
This Certification is an acclamation that our business is a force for good. Through our products and practices, we aspire and demonstrate benefits and relationship for our stakeholders.
The strict standards of the Australian Certified Organic system go further, demanding no chemicals are used in the ENTIRE supply chain, including roasting and handling here in Australia.
This provides natural habitat and food for local wildlife as well as a vital haven for migratory birds. We have 24 Shadegrown coffees and 12 of these are Fairtrade Organic Certified coffees.
