Sustainability

When it comes to our planet, being as kind as possible is our priority. Not because we think it’s on-trend or endearing. It’s simply the right thing to do.

To this effort, we will continue to improve how we track our performance in relation to our people and our planet.

 
 

Brand Values

  • We make sure that our practices are carried out with an overarching respect for mother nature. Whether that’s by sourcing ethical coffee beans or using electric vehicles, we understand that without a healthy planet there’s nothing worth drinking coffee for!

  • It's our business to be totally transparent with our customers. We’re clear and honest about where we source our beans and ingredients, as well as being totally open in our evaluations of office coffee machines and staff. The modern customer can see through the fog, that’s why we have nothing to hide.

  • We wear our intentions proudly on our sleeve, but no amount of positive energy will make up for a substandard service. That’s why we strive for excellence in everything that we do, from the quality of the beans we source and the cutting edge office coffee machines we use, to the highly trained iBaristas that make up our service team.

Responsible Behaviours

  • Fuel Free Baristas

    Fuel Free iBaristas

    All of our iBaristas travel by foot or public transport. Not only does this mean we’re reducing emissions, but it also means we never get stuck in traffic or need to worry about parking. Oh and we still always have all the tools we might need on us!

  • African farm scene

    Investing in farms and communities

    Ripple Effect provides families in Africa with animals and natural resources they can use to build the confidence and expertise to lift themselves out of poverty. For every case of iKhofi coffee beans sold, we donate a percentage to their Ikawa N’Inka project, assisting the development of sustainable coffee farms across Rwanda.

  • Electric delivery van

    Electric Vehicles

    We run our delivery operations with electric vans only, bringing coffee beans and other ingredients to our clients in London and the surrounding areas.

    Give us a wave if you see us on the roads!

  • Ethical coffee beans

    Ethical Coffee Beans

    All our coffee beans are directly sourced. This is an aspect of our business that we will hold onto as long as we’re active.

    As a customer, direct trade coffee is a great deal. You benefit from a higher quality coffee bean that tastes better, all while ensuring coffee farmers around the world receive fair, honest compensation for their hard work.

  • Grind coffee packaging

    Compostable Bean Packaging

    We’re always updating our products to be as sustainable as possible. At the start of 2023, we introduced our fully compostable coffee bean packets via our coffee partner GRIND.

B-Corp introductory video

We’re Proud to Announce our B-Corp Status! 🌱

Sometimes a company decides that profits can’t be everything and that its contribution to the world should be more than just products and figures. Eventually, industry has to come second, and business must be used as a force for good. How can a business do such a thing? By becoming a B Corp, which is exactly what we’ve done at iKhofi. After a long campaign and application process, we are now officially known as a certified B Corp, joining a global community of businesses measuring our social and environmental impact.
