Sustainability

At Coffee Fellows

For Coffee Fellows, progressive business management means to tackle the question of how to manage the business sustainably so that our activities burden the environment as little as possible. In particular, the challenge must be met to control these activities in such a way that they are ecologically useful, but still at a reasonable price in order not to impair profitability. In past years, Coffee Fellows consistently investigated business processes and their ways to optimise them.

The raw product coffee is not bought via a detour around the raw material stock exchanges, but straight from local coffee producers.

SELECTION OF SUPPLIERS

When selecting suppliers, Coffee Fellows sees to ensure that resources are handled gently and that the protection of the environment in the production processes plays an outstanding role. Our main supplier for packaging material, for example, guarantees a reduction of waste in production, very low cost of transport, a minimum CO2 emission and the use of print colours soluble in water.

PACKAGING MATERIAL

To-go-cups, bags and packets get manufactured from raw materials that continue to grow naturally. The goods are compostable or recyclable. Our industrial partners in the paper branch are, as a rule, PEFC- and FSC-certified. This means that natural resources that are used for production come from sustainably farmed forests.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

To save energy resources, Coffee Fellows attaches great importance on the use of energy-efficient devices. Minimising electricity consumption and thus harm to environment is achieved by a transfer to LED technology in shop construction and in outdoor advertising as well as by the use of A-certified refrigerators. Coffee Fellows does consistently without normal air-conditioning, ventilation gets installed across the rooms instead.
