We strive for measurable environmental, social, and fiscal sustainability in everything we do. We value continuous improvement, pushed through supply chain partnerships that are built on communication and transparency. Acting responsibly and working collaboratively, we can make coffee a force for good in the world.
Sustainability
Sustainability Programs
Our definition of sustainable coffee starts at the farm and ends with drinking brewed coffee. We believe that for coffee to be sustainable, all of the practices along the supply chain should be taken into account. That is why we strive for measurable environmental, social, and fiscal sustainability in everything we do.
At Origin
Coffee has the potential to thrive in healthy, biodiverse environments while also supporting the livelihoods of the farmers who grow it and the communities where they live. Our programs at origin work to push that potential.
Internal Programs
Our commitment to sustainability also includes our work at Green Garage, in our roastery, with our retail partners, and with like-minded organizations with whom we work to serve common causes.
Local Communities
In every region where we open a training center, we support community-based organizations that focus on sustainable agriculture and food security —two issues we encounter frequently at origin that we also see reflected in our local communities.
Tea Collection
Our partner farmers are smallholders, family farmers and cooperatives who believe in transparency and who share our vision and values about changing the way that tea is marketed, produced and consumed. We have carefully selected our partner farmers according to a number of criteria. Our partner farmers are located in Nepal, Malawi, Kenya, Taiwan, Indonesia and Japan (and counting). The livelihoods of farmers, workers and cooperatives are a core concern of Brew Impact. Each of our farms has a unique story to tell.
Coffee & Tea for Social Impact
Our “5:25” business model is simple: we unleash craft creativity and the fruits of artisanal labor to donate 5% of the turnover or 25% of the profit from every sale– whichever number is greater. Through our community’s support, we want to raise money to fund social projects dedicated to empowering at-risk youth around the world.
By selling Direct Trade Coffee & Tea, Brew Impact connects people to the reality that entrepreneurship for Social Impact is something achievable right now.
Who do we support?
Through our sales, we mainly finance social projects that use football as a tool to empower disadvantaged kids and youth anywhere in the world. Some retailers have personal attachments to a specific project and therefore prefer that our collaboration supports their chosen cause, not necessarily related to football.
Green Garage
Nature inspires us. Its details. Its immensity. It remind us of the precise tempo of things. From a coffee bean springs a huge coffee plantation. From a cutting, a beautiful plant. Thanks to its intuition. The same that inspires craft. We believe in the simpleness of lines, in the expression of colours. In their capacity to create a new world. A place where things are done with care. With passion. With respect. Where we can always share a cup of coffee or tea at its best, with the ones we want, or with ourselves. Talking. Listening. Reading. Thinking. Feeling alive. We do it here.
At The Green Garage. Where plants meet craft.
