At Dear Green our core values were never decided upon by a 'Corporate and Social Responsibility' statement, instead they have been engrained in our everyday practices from the very start.
We don’t have all the answers but we ask all of the questions and have adapted processes along our journey to find the best solutions available to us. From humble beginnings as a start up we are now positioned as a business that we believe can be a force for good!

As we acknowledge the climate crisis and the required mitigation by businesses, we have committed to reducing our emissions to net zero by 2030.
To reach this ambitious target we practise an agenda of measuring, monitoring and reporting on our environmental impact of our operations and business practices as well as focus on supporting projects that are committed to improve the coffee supply chain and invest into climate mitigation.
We love what we do and we love sharing this with the community - our Dear Green people.
We are committed to donating 2% of our annual revenue to charitable organisations, read on to discover our ethical partnerships and our support for local, national and international community projects.
You'll find all the buzz words here! Ethical. Sustainable. Traceable. Speciality. We tick all of these boxes and more. But how is this quantifiable? How can we justify our sourcing? Well we can't, nobody can! But we try our hardest to be as fully informed and educated as we possibly can be and can pass this knowledge on along the supply chain with complete transparency.
From origin trip visits to purchasing code and being SALSA accredited ensuring a 'food safe' and fully traceable product with the audits and record keeping - we try our best.
We talked a lot about what we practice, but we also preach: We think as a small business we can have a loud voice in the industry advocating for better.
