Impact. What we actually do.
-
1 % for the Planet
We dedicate 1% of our annual pre-tax revenue to sustainable agriculture and food production. By partnering with “1% FOR THE PLANET” and other environmental organizations, we contribute to impact both people and the planet positively. These efforts help preserve ecosystems, enhance adaptability to climate change, and improve land and soil quality.

volunteer work
Every SO Coffee team member receives at least one paid day off annually to volunteer. We encourage volunteer work to strengthen ties with the community, foster goodwill, and potentially form partnerships. Volunteering develops new skills, such as leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving, which can be valuable for our team and impact the community.
-
reusable cups
Simple daily actions can have a huge impact too. SO advocates for the reduction of single-use cup waste and helps minimize our environmental footprint by decreasing landfill contributions and conserving natural resources. We would love to inspire our clients to adopt eco-friendly practices so we offer a 10% discount on every coffee refill.

Ethical, social, employement and environmental standards
SO Coffee Roasters focuses on fairly compensating farmers and workers in the coffee supply chain. We believe in fair trade and work to reduce exploitation. We create an inclusive workplace that values diversity and provides equal opportunities for all employees. We offer fair and competitive wages that meet or exceed local living standards, helping to ensure economic security for our employees.

Supply Chain code of COnduct
We have a Supply Chain Code of Conduct that guides our suppliers to operate ethically and responsibly. This code is all about fair trade, honesty, and staying clear of corruption. We’re big supporters of human rights and celebrate diversity. We think everyone deserves fair treatment, decent pay, safe working conditions, and respect for their rights. We also encourage sustainable farming and saving water. On top of that, we aim to deliver high-quality products while complying with all the local laws.

Responsible Sourcing Commitment
We're all about responsible sourcing because it makes a difference for the environment, helps farmers lead sustainable lives, and ensures our customers get high-quality coffee. This commitment shows we're serious when it comes to ethical, social, and environmental issues. We only pick the best coffee beans to make sure every cup is delicious. Plus, you can trace our coffee back to the farm, so there's transparency and accountability in our supply chain.
