Is Jasper Coffee a sustainable company?
Sustainability is foundational to the way we choose to go about our business.
How did we get to this point?
Sustainability has become a buzz word in coffee, often overused and undefined.
So why does Jasper Coffee take it so seriously?
We consciously choose our coffees, with respect to how the product is grown and harvested, preferably under Organic and Shade Grown conditions, within an economically sustainable environment.
Certifications from third party organisations ensure that we all of our processes get tracked and audited, you can rest assured the coffee you drink not only tastes great, but does good for real people.
Fundamental to this, we are always concerned for the economic and social well being and living standards of the people who produce our coffees.
The best cup in in town
Specially designed to be recycled along with normal paper and cardboard waste up to 7 times before eventually making its way to landfill.
Fairtrade
One of the most important certifications in our business as it supports local communities & the environment.
Fairtrade is an alternate commercial trading system, independently audited, which embraces community action within a democratic Cooperative structure to ensure a higher than market price for the coffee to each farmer, and elevates the living standards for whole communities through the receipt of payment of a Fairtrade Premium direct to the Cooperative.
B Corp
Measuring a company’s entire social and environmental impact.
This Certification sits above and compliments Fairtrade, Organic and Carbon Neutral and truly demonstrates that we care about the way we operate and think.
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.
Organic
Since the very beginning Jasper Coffee has championed Organic coffee.
We are proud of each organic coffee in our range, their outstanding flavour and the environmental impact that they have at origin.
The strict standards of the Australian Certified Organic system go further than any other, demanding no chemicals are used in the ENTIRE supply chain, including roasting and handling here in Australia.
Shade grown coffee
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.
Carbon Neutral
By becoming a 100% Carbon Neutral Coffee company in 2009, our vision of collecting data and taking responsibility for our footprint and our carbon emissions has come to fruition.
We use energy efficient roasting machinery and techniques, we always seek to reduce carbon usage where possible.
